More on XHTML

A few more notes on XHTML 2.0. Tom Gilder (who incidentally has written an excellent series of tips on accessible scripting) has pointed out that the <dfn> tag is part of HTML4 and corrected my spelling of draft as well :) Meanwhile, a post by Shane P. McCarron to XHTML-L has highlighted a few more interesting points—<applet> is out (in favour of <object>, XMLEvents are in to replace the current event model and the href attribute can now be used on pretty much anything to turn it in to a link. Strangely XLink is not mentioned in the specification.

The new working draft is currently being discussed on www-html, a relatively low traffic mailing list hosted by the W3C.

You really are going to end up hating me: there's a "t" in "events" :) (You linked to http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-evens)

On the contrary, it's great - like having a spell checker built in to my comments system ;) Thanks, I've fixed the URL now.
