[1] I would like to support this and point out one more reason: the RELAX NG implementation of Modularization and XHTML Basic is the only one that can be broadly accepted and used. Those who care about broad XHTML acceptance must support RELAX NG. Two specific developments would help. One is support from XML editors, such as XMetaL and XML Spy. The other is an additional Appendix in XHTML Modularization that would contain or point to the RELAX NG implementation when it is released. This would be a small-scope but significant signal to implementers and developers. Easily-customizable XHTML, within a syntax-directed editor, with simple datatype checking, would be a significant advance, in my opinion.
