The current working draft, as it makes clear is just part of a series of
documents. This WD will lead to a simple document providing XML namespaces,
and XML DTD's for XHTML.

I believe the current working group will be also looking at the whole of
forms and interfaces, so if people have any requirements for an HTML
interface now is the time to make them known.

I know that many members of the current W3C HTML WG monitor this list, and
as XHTML is XML I would hope that such discusion would be proper on this
list. Discussion of of HTML can also be carried out on the W3C publiic
mailing lists.
