From the JSF 1.1 spec:

8.5 Standard HTML RenderKit
Implementation
To ensure application portability, all JSF implementations are
required to include
support for a RenderKit, and the associated Renderers, that meet the
requirements defined in this section, to generate textual markup that
is compatible
with HTML 4.01.
=============================
However, if there are changes we can make to MyFaces Core that will
improve xhtml support while still meeting the above requirement, we
can make them.

Hello Mike,
I tested the generated output of a <h:form/> with the following doctype
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>
with the validator at http://validator.w3.org/. The validator
generates a lot of errors, for example this one:
Line 20 column 11: value of attribute "ID" invalid: "_" cannot start a name.
<form id="_idJsp4" name="_idJsp4" method="post"
action="/Pro/createPerson.jsf"
Changeing the Doctype of the same markup to
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
the markup passes validation.
Does this mean, that myFaces is not Spec-conform, given that the spec
says HTML 4.01 must be generated?
Best regards,
Rudi
