Then my question, what about those who prefer to stick with XHTML?
By "Stick with XHTML" do you mean "not to move to an unstable, draft
markup language"? Plenty of people are happily writing HTML 4.01 and
avoiding the pain of Appendix C.
But isn't it going to have XHTML2 as well?
I am not a pioneer but a over-work, over exhausted web worker who
barely keep up with latest technology, so I do not study HTML5 nor
XHTML2 like many of you do. I do pay attention when I see articles
regarding HTML 5 surface in many blog-dom in the past month.
There are CMS that rely on XML (one I know and work on every day is
the Magento) and this caught my eyes sometimes ago:
Things HTML5 does not do:
• Does not favor XML facilities (what does this mean? What impact
will it have for sites that were built in XHTML strict and CMS that
parse XML (not just the RSS feed)? )
• Does not avoid scripting
• Does not consider integration with the SemWeb a priority (and what
does this mean? Is "SemWeb" semantic web? Both Yahoo and Google
adapted Semantic Web, what impact will it have for SEO?)
• No arbitrary namespaces.
Things XHTML2 does not do
• Does not support existing contention the same way that HTML5 does
• Does not precisely define UA behavior
• Does not handle errors non-draconically (uses "catch fire and fail"
error handling)
• No arbitrary namespaces.
So, people like me who are in the web development, but our well-being
are on the mercy of you pioneers, HTML5, XHTML2.0 authors and W3C's ,
I have had this question since the first time I read about HTML5 draft
years ago from this list, that there had long been battles between
html 4.0 strict and XHTML strict, none are perfect and those who
favored XHTML led some believe this is the future of web standards and
I stick to it and I am not alone. Since none are perfect, now you guys
were moving forward, working hard to bringing a whole new standards to
us, why can't the HTML5 and XHTML2.0 working group just give us ONE
standards?
Thus far the impression I got from many articles I have read, is that
HTML5 will be the standards, is better. Is that right?
Sorry, I am not being sarcastic here. And I don't suppose this is a
Mac Vs PC kind of choice that you pick what works best for you, or
choose to use Opera or Google Chrome or Firefox.
The hr tag is deprecated.
Which specification deprecated it?
This is what I learned:
All "presentation attributes" of the hr element were deprecated in
HTML 4.01, and are not supported in XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD.
In gassho,
