XHTML v2 Working Draft just released

[lorax]

31 January 2003: The HTML Working Group has released the fourth public Working Draft of XHTML 2.0. XHTML 2.0 is a relative of the Web's familiar publishing languages HTML 4 and XHTML 1.0 and 1.1. The draft contains XHTML 2.0 modules for creating rich, portable Web-based applications. Comments are welcome.

Yet another spec that needs to be read and understood and memorized. ;)

Thanks for pointing it out, lorax.

Well, not memorized yet .. since it's only a working draft :)

Thatīs the wrong approach doc. You need to memorize each and every draft to be able to comment on how the W3C arrived at the final recommendation. When there are any ambiguities left you can then argue that a particular sentence changed from this to that when they moved from the forth to the fifth draft and that it was changed back in the rec just because of language considerations but that the reasoning behind the change still applies. Itīs all a lot and hard work but it pays off in the end. ;)

Doing that in the past has helped my Google rankings tremendously ;)

.. which means that we're talking about two different things.

I am not going to memorize the XHTML2 working draft right now .. or even apply anything from it (code wise).

However, I do apply, consider, and memorize all the W3C principles - spoken or unspoken, recommended or not - that will improve the visitor's experience as well as improve usability, coding, validation, results (whether it be sales, increased number of visitors, or PR).

Has never failed yet .. ;)
