Hi,
As Aaron Leventhal and I have discussed, we (Opera and Mozilla) will
remove support for the role attribute in the http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
namespace and only keep support for the role attribute in no namespace on
elements in the http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml namespace. Therefore we
suggest to update the spec accordingly.
Suggested spec changes:
* Remove the second list item from the document conformance criteria.
(Note that it is inappropriate to require a namespace *declaration* --
it should be permissable to build up a DOM using scripting and DOM
APIs with the correct namespaces but no namespace declarations.)
* Remove the host language conformance class. The only host language
that this Module will apply to is XHTML 1.1.
Cheers,
