What about: <atom:content type="xhtml"> <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <p style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%"> Hey, hey! I can show ads that can take the whole viewport, hiding everything else in the containing page! (if the feed content is shown inside another HTML page) </p> </div> </atom:content> Moreover, you can still add constraints on the XHTML content but you'll never be able to constraint HTML content... Maybe that's why NITF (or its subset XMLNews-story) defines its own formatting markup... though NITF also adds semantic markup (location, person, etc.) Anyway, the -06 spec says XHTML is used in its "basic" flavor (and that's good! <applause/>), not allowing inline styles (but still the class attribute) nor the script element. Though you can still not put such constraints on type="html" content, and this moves the interop' matter elsewhere: publishers are then required to check and filter their XHTML content (or they'll just put it in type="html" to bypass the validation process... worse than everything else...) before including it in an Atom feed... Oh, and as we're talking about it: the -06 spec states "If the value of "type" is "xhtml", the content of the Text construct MUST be a single XHTML div element" but the RNG schema says it can contain mixed content with "anyElement". However, I still can't understand the _need_ for this xhtml:div wrapper... if someone likes to have a prefix-free feed, he can use a wrapper div, as divs can contain divs! So please revert to "mixed content without wrapper"! (I know it's too late...) -- Thomas Broyer
