I believe that SoftQuad's active promotion in W3C of a modification of
META attributes would be a good thing, but forgive me if I am somewhat
reticient about this approach as a way forward. I've been down the
let's-modify-html road, and its a torturous path at best. None the
less, I'm happy to help develop a proposal towards that end (after my
vacation, that is). I'll contact you towards the end of August,
Lauren.
I respect the position of Jon and Lauren (and others, undoubtably), who
want approved, parsable HTML, but once again, if the *ONLY* thing in
the world that is compromised is validation (and this, only in a very
constrained, arguably parsable way), should this stand in the way of
trying to establish a practice that is what we want down the road?
now... if SoftQuad were to deliver a validator that has switches... :-)
