/ jaccoud@petrobras.com.br was heard to say:
| Actually, what the guidelines say is that you should use both the old
| 'name' and the new 'id' attributes, so we should write
|       <li><a id="someid" name="someid"></a><p>...</p></li>

But that's got the linebreak problem.

| But the stylesheets generate only the id attribute, so it doesn't matter if

The stylesheets generate <a name="">, not id="", or at least they do for me :-)

| But you caught my flea: the HTML stylesheets generate only the name
| attribute. XHTML stylesheets only the id attribute. The name attribute
| cannot be put in the li element, and since the XHTML stylesheets are based
| on the HTML ones, I can now see why they always generate a separate anchor
| element.

Yep. I'm *not* going to maintain separate stylesheets. The XHTML
stylesheets have to be generated from the HTML stylesheets.

| I think it will not be possible to keep the HTML and XHTML stylesheets
| unified for much long. Soon the former will have to go away, or we will not
| be able to add more functionality (for example, intertwined MathML and
| SVG).

Yes, I suppose we'll have to move on eventually. But not before
there's broader support for modern languages.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
