No, I'm saying that the different flavours of XHTML are application-specific, not language-specific. (That is, there should be *one* XHTML *language*, even though *XHTML applications* may recognize different flavours of that language.) One language = one schema [= one DTD]. This is why I keep saying there should [eventually] be one XHTML namespace, to identify that "this is XHTML". Then that XHTML should be passed on to an XHTML application, for processing; since that application is really the only application that would even care if this is loose, strict, or frameset XHTML, a processing instruction is good enough to let it know. If the XHTML *isn't* going to be passed on to the XHTML application, then nobody really cares if it is strict or loose or frameset. (e.g., If a search engine is going to be searching XHTML pages it isn't going to be processing the XHTML for display, but it doesn't really care if those pages are in one flavour or the other anyway. It just wants to be able to find the XHTML.) xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
