RE: [wsrp][markup] XHTML Considerations (was: First conference ca ll(Summary))
Title: Message

I 
believe the point Thomas was making when he stated that there is no "markup 
language of WSRP" is that we need to only concern ourselves with determining the 
list of acceptable (or unacceptable) markup tags in each of the markup languages 
we plan to support.....

 

Since 
XHTML is a superset/clean version of HTML, by stating that a <BODY> 
tag is unacceptable in your markup fragment in XHTML it implies the same in 
HTML...

 

Therefore, I think we can get away with one list of 
unacceptable tags that applies to both XHTML and HTML....

I do believe we have to offer a migration path for 
  people that have or even prefer plain old HTML - expecting everybody to go 
  back to their Perl scripts and JSP templates and rework them might provide a 
  barrier to entry that we can avoid by simply supporting 
  HTML.

Is there a general statement on whether the markup 
    subcommittee intends to 
treat HTML and XHTML 
    interchangeably? My initial thought was that WSRP would 
do better to standardize on XHTML, which would have a number of 
    advantages 
including the ability of the consumer to 
    treat the fragment as an XML 
fragment. It's not 
    terribly difficult to tidy up a piece of HTML and 
repurpose it as well-formed/valid XHTML when dealing with legacy 
    content. An 
early focus on XHTML might position us 
    better for dealing with devices in 
the long run, as 
    it appears that WML and cHTML are going to be secondary 
targets for the TC.

There is not something like "the markup language of WSRP", 
    the WSRP 
protocol needs not to be tied to any 
    particular markup language, the 
protocol and the 
    markup exchanged can be viewed as orthogonal. 

    
However, WSRP will need to define rules for valid markup 
    fragments and 
common styles with the 
    priorities 
1. (X)HTML 
2. 
    WML, cHTML, VoiceXML... 

    
It would be interesting to see the rules that would define 
    valid XHTML 
Basic fragments. 

    
Takao, could you post an XHTML Basic example document to the 
    mailing list 
and an outline of fragment rules for 
    XHTML Basic ? Which tags would be 
allowed in 
    aggregatable XHTML Basic fragments and which tags would not be 
    
allowed to use in fragments ? 

    
Best regards, 

    
Thomas

Greg, 

    
Yes, as you mentioned, XHTML Basic is becoming a standard 
    for cellular 
phones. 
In WAP 
    2.0, XHTML Mobile Profile (an extention of XHTML Basic) is a 
    
standard markup language. In Japan, cellular phones that 
    support WAP 2.0 
are already on sale by KDDI. NTT 
    Docomo also has announced support of WAP 
2.0. 
    
In the near future, WAP 2.0, i.e, XTHML Basic will be used 
    by many mobile 
devices. 

    
If the markup language of WSRP is based on XHTML 
    Basic, 
it makes support of mobile devices much 
    easier. 

    
Regards, 
Takao
