I've encountered one more bug ("Drambuie"): - db.html.coreattrs do not define an @id attribute. I think that's definitely a bug. Consequences are e.g. that's not possible to reference formal HTML tables (<table> with <caption>) via <xref> since they are not allowed to take an @id attribute. :-( The following are just some impressions and suggestions that come to my mind in the last few days: - Update HTML elements to reflect XHTML 1.1 [1], i.e. replace @lang with @xml:lang. It is confusing to use @xml:lang with DbNG and @lang with HTML elements. Furthermore, I'm not sure if @dir is needed. For me, it makes no sense that just a couple of elements supports a bidi-text attribute. - Content models of <replaceable> and <remark> are too restricted. For instance, I would like to use <sub/superscript> inside <replaceable> and inline link elements inside <remark>. - The recently released XHTML 2 WD [2] just reminded me that there was some work on a universal @xml:id attribute [3]. But ok, both are drafts.
