As a refinement of HTML for use in browsers as a skeleton to hang JavaScript actions on, it's a very good fit. As a vocabulary to tag documents, it's better than HTML4 if a bit...quirky.What functionality is lost please?The HTML5 image/video elements, AFAICT, have no facilities for setting the size or scaling, for example. In HTML+CSS you'd do that by wrapping eleven divs with random class names [stop being fascetious -ed] around the video and using CSS to style them. We have "width" and "depth" (yes, I wish we'd named that "height"), "contentwidth" and "contentdepth", "align", "valign", "scale", and "scalefit" as attributes on the data element and carefully considered rules for how they interact, see: http://docbook.org/tdg51/en/html/imagedata.html If we adopted something isomorphic to HTML5, we'd lose the size and scaling controls. Be seeing you, norm
Thanks. For me, resizing images is important. A good reason not to use HTML5 (until fixed) regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk
