"Note that the French "msg1" and the English "msg1" may not appear in
the same document since they share the same id value. Authors may make
further use of the id attribute to refine the presentation of
individual messages, make them target anchors, etc."
Etc? And whether or not they'd wish it, politics aside, the very
example, above, suggests it's in the very self-same document. What the
authors of these mean, and what they write, are often not the same.
They can be very specific, even pedantic, in explaining things on ngs.
I've seen that in other areas. But the documents tend to be almost
written in a shorthand, with much consistency and detail omitted.
And yet aren't these the norms, supposedly, for criticisms of IE, and
even NN (if anyone still uses it), for not being 'standards
compliant'?
Take the pre.example. It's described this way:
"The document is to include a number of preformatted examples. We use
the PRE element to format the examples. We also assign a background
color (green) to all instances of the PRE element belonging to the
class "example". "
What they really mean is that:
One given document might include more than one PRE section. Any of
these can present a green background, if we associate that section
with a certain CLASS; which we called, "example", in this example.
And I'm confused, as well, why W3C doesn't use lower case for XHMTL?
It's the particular version they can call their own.
Anyway.

basic concept of only one instance of id="foo" in a single document. All
the remaining text follows this concept - especially what immediately
folows the example, "Note that the French "msg1" and the English "msg1"
may not appear in the same document." This clearly says that the above
example cannot appear as is in an HTML document.

pretty sure they routinely use lowercase for element tags.

spec. But the criticism often levied against IE mainly concerns css
compliance. IE's html compliance is not significantly worse than other
UAs afaik.

And one of the best ways to do that (for me at least) is to follow this
newsgroup
and I read books and magazines.
Maybe I wasn't in the best of moods this morning,
maybe I should've just kept my mouth closed (and my fingers away from the
keys)
but I........
oh well, forget it.
I'm sorry if I offended anyone
and I appologize for my rude behaviour.
*But don't ever compare me to G.W*
