Why do we need to "prefer"? We could just say which input formats are available and have a document which list the pros and cons. > [snip] > Actually I'm only talking about the SOURCE format. > > The proposal is simply to deprecate the xdoc format as an *input* > format, and concentrate on HTML4 and XHTML1.x for the _source_. Earlier in this thread you used this expression: (X)HTML(1|2) When it comes time for a vote, then it should be explicit. We would need to deprecate the xdoc input format over a long period or provide a special build target to convert from xdocs. I gather that it has always been the plan to evolve the "xdocs" format to XHTML2 anyway. So i am just seeing this proposal as being in line with that. My concerns are the "prefer" issue above, and understanding how we do FAQs and HOWTOs and CHANGES without having the xdocs to control the structure. --David
