It has to allow two authoring syntaxes. One HTML and one XML. I thought
we were past that discussion?
I fully expected my proposal to either be bounced immediately as sheer
lunacy, or for someone to quickly point to the specific reason why it had
been rejected before.
I think it's still not clear to me what your proposal is and what it would
entail. I thought you solely argued for allowing "/" at the end of the
start tag of void elements, but it seems you don't want an XML
serialization anymore as well or something in that direction.
The sense I am gathering is that the proposal is not obviously insane,
and in fact is a bit novel in that such a narrowly scoped adoption of
XML syntax -- i.e., only to the extent that it both reflects the web as
widely
practiced and only to the extent that doing such does not introduce
ambiguity into the grammar -- had not been considered before.
I'm not sure I get this.
