They blew it. Let's give them time to clean it up. If they don't by this time next week, we should find out why. One can inquire if it is our job to flog them, but given other horses, that one does affect the web community in a way that is obvious. But I agree that they need time to do the right thing. Heck, we can't get code out the door that fast here either. The tech writers won't let us. :-) Age doesn't ossify; exposure to the elements does. ... not to mention the CDATA sections. len -----Original Message----- From: Champion, Mike [mailto:Mike.Champion@S...] I don't really want to continue flogging this dead horse, but I just saw Opera's press release on this episode: http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/xhtml/20011026.xml "The irony of Microsoft's claim to standards-support is complete when you check the MSN.com site for compliance with the XHTML standard. Anyone can go to the W3C's standards validation service at http://validator.w3.org/ and type in www.msn.com. The document returned demonstrates clearly that not a single document on their site adheres to W3C specifications, and many of their documents do not use XHTML at all, e.g. http://careers.msn.com/."
