Subject: RE: Why Doesn't IE5 use the DTD to Validate? From: "Didier PH Martin" <martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 1 Apr 1999 10:30:43 -0500 |
HI Ed, <YourComment> Here, here! Surely this is what we are trying to accomplish. With respect to Didier, our colleagues from CNET and Microsoft, their distinctions and justifications I've read in this thread are simply inadequate to possibilities this technology is providing. It seems to me entirely appropriate that the simple 'yes/no' case for validity rule. No assumptions, no artificial scenarios and, ultimately, no regrets. </YourComment> <reply> I agree on the fact that actually the XML technology do not live to its full potential. However I should also point that Rome wasn't built in one day :-) Mozilla will also have tis share of adjustement to the needs of market. We are entering in a critical phase where people will juge XML in the light of HTML. Remember that the actual legacy is HTML and as being a more mature technology (just take WYSISWYG HTML editor compared to the stage where XML editors are now). We have then to provide as good or even bettter stuff. Actually, XML can offer more (for most of the web market) for e-commerce transactions. Here, even a browser will need structural integrity check. For document publication, do not expect people to include formal declarations in their document. <Question>What is the percentage of actual HTML document that points to a DTD or include a DTD? Waht is the percentage of HTML document that could be said to be valid SGML documents?</Question>. So, the first question is: How will people use DTD? a) to include external referrences, c) to have their document validated at the receiving end. The best way is to say if they should or not. the point is to check if they can and then see what we can do with these situation. </reply> Regards Didier PH Martin mailto:martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.netfolder.com
