So isn't the right thing to say about HTML5 that there _is_ a normative schema, but it's not for the surface syntax, it's for that underlying XHTML document. Seems to me there _must_ be such a grammar, or Hixie couldn't be figuring out what fixups to do: the fixups are designed to produce a tree of a certain form, and it would be useful for all of us to document that form using a schema. . . ht - -- Henry S.
