RE: [wsrp][markup] Allowed HTML Tags

[Eilon Reshef <eilon.reshef@webcollage.com>]

Carsten,

I am unaware of the formal definition, especially in XHTML, but these are widely used in practice in HTML code. I haven't been involved in the markup subgroup, but I believe we should be non-restrictive enough to allow (or, rather, non to completely disallow) those existing methods, even if we don't formally "endorse" them. I think that as long as the semantics of the composed page is well defined, we should be in a good shape and should apply syntactic restrictions when it is clear that these two match. Does that make sense?

Regards,
Eilon

Eilon -

I suggested to disallow the elements "style" and "link" because my HTML
documentation states that they are only valid with the "head" block. I will
try to check another source of documentation to be sure.

We might need to refine some of the rules beyond "yes" and "no".

For example, there is no reason to disallow <style> and <link> tags, as
long as they don't change the semantics of the container document. For
example, if the portlet uses scoping within CSS, the styles don't affect
the container document, and yet this provides lots of flexibility to the
portlet designer (that's mandatory for really sophisticated applications).

      Hi - here is the proposed list of valid HTML tags in WSPR.
