In XHTML you want to be allowed to write markup like this:
<h:html xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en">
...
For obvious reasons this doesn't work in HTML.
I never said that everyone should write like this. And I never expected
to write lke that and use it in HTML.
In HTML you want to write markup like this:
<script>
if(x<y) alert("<danger>")
</script>
For obvious reasons this doens't work in XHTML. Restricting either one
so that in theory you can copy and paste between them doesn't seem
worth it.
Yeah, sorry I didn't get what you were referring to. If you had
mentioned <![CDATA[ I would have go t it :-)
<script type="text/javascript">
<![CDATA[
var FO_logo = { movie:"swf/logo.swf", width:"100%",
height:"100%", majorversion:"6", build:"0", wmode:"transparent",
salign:"tl" };
UFO.create(FO_logo, "logo");
]]>
</script>
and for HTML viewers they get:
<script type="text/javascript">
var FO_logo = { movie:"swf/logo.swf", width:"100%", height:"100%",
majorversion:"6", build:"0", wmode:"transparent", salign:"tl" };
UFO.create(FO_logo, "logo");
</script>
It's not just what I wish to do in the future. It's about the whole
world, it's about all the documents that will be circulating out
there. They will be incompatible with each other.
They already are. However, on a language level they are not incompatible.
How on earth do you think that HTML5 and XHTML5 will live on the web
at the same time without some type of increased normalisation between
the two?
By using separate consumers that handle each in an appropriate way.
You need that anyway to deal with non-conforming HTML and XHTML using
XML features.
