Subject: XHTML 2.0 Bullets (Revised)
REVISED Folks, I was asked to give some bulleted items of discussion about XHTML 2.0 for our next meeting. This list is not exhaustive, however I suspect that it's well enough to lead to several interesting discussions - thanks, John 1. SEMANTIC MARKUP SUPPORTED XHTML 2.0 provides the global @property attribute for use when identifying the semantic information represented by a string of text within the XHTML 2.0 document. Examples: <span property='PartyName'>Joe Jones</span> <span property='ReferenceDate'>Nov 2, 2004</span> XHTML 2.0 provides the global @resource and @about attributes for use when identifying the "resource" that a string of text is about. Examples: <span resource='http://www.dot.com/josephpjones' property='PartyName' >Joe Jones</span> 2. ELEMENTS ADDED XHTML 2.0 introduces the <section>, <h>, <l>, and <nl> elements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- The <section> element, whose content model is similar to a <div>, seems intended for use in legal documents. The <h> element appears intended to replace the (seemingly) deprecated <h1> - <h6> elements. The <l> element -- used for lines of text -- is an inline element, that is, it may be used within <p>, <div>, or <section> elements (all these are block-level elements) or within other inline elements, such as <h>, <span>, and <td> elements. The <nl> element -- called a navigation list -- is used for example to represent items in a table of contents. 3. CONTENT MODELS TIGHTENED XHTML 2.0 adopts aspects of a grammatical paragraph model. XHTML 2.0 has dropped styling-only elements from its namespace. XHTML 2.0 has dropped styling-only attributes from various elements, 4. ELEMENTS DELETED XHTML 2.0 drops all the form-related elements, e.g., <button>, <select>, <input>, and <form>, adopting the XForms namespace instead. In other words, XHTML 2.0 specifically promotes use of multiple XML namespaces within XHTML documents.
