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.
