 Dear all, I have the following very interesting ideas:- 1) A Beyond XHTML 2.0 site 2) A Markup Language for the "profile" attribute. 1) I have written a document that uses as much of the latest technology as I could without going overboard! It uses XML Schemas, RDF, XLink and a few others. For more information, take a look at the SOURCE of http://xhtml.waptechinfo.com/exp/ A stunning document? I certainly hope so. It uses XML Schemas instead of DTDs, and thus conforms to my discussion at http://xhtml.waptechinfo.com/extxhtml/ Any input on this project is most welcome! 2) Profiles - a Recommendation for XHTML Documents The XHTML recommendation at http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1 specifies a "profile" attribute for the head element. The HTML 4.01 spec defines it as follows: "This attribute specifies the location of one or more meta data profiles, separated by white space. For future extensions, user agents should consider the value to be a list even though this specification only considers the first URI to be significant." And goes on to say: "This specification does not define formats for profiles." Well, if the W3C doesn't define a format for profiles, who will? The document also says that a profile could take on a globally unique value that user agens would recognize without going there. A profile could take on one of the following formats: XHTML XML XML Schema RDF Please note that all of the above languages are XML languages! I think we should create some kind of "PROFILE ML" that can be put into the profile section as the first "signifigant" URI. Then, documents conforming to this URI could follow in a list. For example <head profile="http://xhtml.waptechinfo.com/profileml/, http://www.mysite.org/myprofile.xml"> PROFILE ML would probably have the root value "profile" and be able to include the xhtml, XLink and RDF namespaces (and possibly the util:comment thingy). This would minimize the need for META data within a document! Anyway, that's the end of my rambilngs for today! Let me know what you all think. Kindest Regards, Sean B.
