More on XHTML
6th August 2002
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.
