If you're just switching doctype - for a start - there aren't any backwards compatibility issues. After all: "the new, short, HTML 5 DOCTYPE is introduced because they needed a compact mode-switch – and for no other reason. Good browsers still don't need it, but IE sure does." <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_34.html> Unless you really need any of the new elements right now, it makes sense to just switch to HTML 5 doctype and relax on all else - including backwards compatibility - until the time seems right ... in a few years time. regards Georg ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
