Internet explorer, Opera e lo standard: questo matrimonio non s'ha da fare

Al momento nessuna risposta :(

E' alfine arivata la risposta del w3c.

In sostanza c'e' da dar ragione a Firefox, Opera e IE si allontanano dalla DTD.

Riporto quanto gli avevo chiesto e la loro risposta in inglese, non ho voglia ora di tradurre, se qualcuno ne ha faccia pure:

Please read these four message in the validator ML:

From the discussion results that the passage http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.3 is at least misleading.

You are right:
"All elements other than those declared in the DTD as EMPTY must have an
end tag."

should read

"All elements other than those declared in the DTD as EMPTY should have an
end tag."

since this section is meant to point out what XML requires of XHTML, and
XML says

"For interoperability, the empty-element tag SHOULD be used, and SHOULD
only be used, for elements which are declared EMPTY."
(Last sentence of http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-starttags)

Note, that since this section is informative, this change makes no
normative change to XHTML1.

Thanks for spotting it.

Dice che l'abbreviazione di chiusura dovrebbero essere usati solo per i tag vuoti, ma comunque non é vietato.

May the fox be with you
