This is new to me as I've been out of the loop. I will surely keep an eye on this issue and would like to see what W3C can come up with. I am curious of one issue though. Since XHTML needs a CSS for the styles to show, would the new coding not need it? A side thought regarding programs, Dreamweaver is one of the easiest ways to create a markup language rather than using Word. Dreamweaver is straight on with code and it does not add excess coding such as Word has done when creating an HTML document. WOW! This is new to me as I’ve been out of the loop.

Why would we possibly want to stagnate standards when everything else on the web is speeding ahead. its pretty frustrating dedicated years to learning a craft, only to have it "dumbed down" on account of one horrible browser, and the dwindling legions of web professionals that still use it. @Chris - have you never used Adobe Dreamweaver? I couldn't think of anything worse than generating HTML in Word. Dare I say, some of these proposals are opening up web design to the uneducated.

Why? Very simply because HTML should be a <em>simplistic</em> markup language. Kind of like a stepping stone to using things like CSS. In all honesty, I think it would be in the best interest of the web page creation software products to create markup that is simple to choose. Something like a web SITE setting that would generate a web page/site for things like "Ensure compatibility with browser XYZ". One of the biggest headaches I've ever found was using Microsoft Word to save an HTML file, only to find a TON of additional markup for areas that are duplicated. After all, how many times have you seen a reference to "MsoNormal" in an HTML file that was generated by most of the MS products? Can't the products be smart enough to look for similarities, and generate HTML/CSS markup so that whole sections aren't duplicated (by default of course)?
