The W3C has issued a revised Proposed Recommendation for XHTML 1.0, referred back to the HTML working group earlier this year.

The new PR is reviewed favorably on XML-DEV by David Megginson, who points out the major highlights:

• A single XHTML Namespace, http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
• Examples of using elements from other Namespaces inside an XHTML document
• All element and attribute names in lower case
• The DOCTYPE declaration is still required for strict XHTML conformance, with three different DTDs

In the rest of his message, Megginson pays credit to Tim Berners-Lee and the membership of XML-DEV for their part in the debate around XHTML.
