Abstract

The XHTML Basic document type includes the minimal set of modules required to be an XHTML Host Language document type, and in addition it includes images, forms, basic tables, and object support. It is designed for Web clients that do not support the full set of XHTML features; for example, Web clients such as mobile phones, PDAs, pagers, and settop boxes. The document type is rich enough for content authoring.

XHTML Basic is designed as a common base that may be extended. For example, an event module that is more generic than the traditional HTML 4 event system could be added or it could be extended by additional modules from XHTML Modularization such as the Script Module. The point is that XHTML Basic always is the common language that user agents support.

The document type definition is implemented using XHTML modules as defined in "Modularization of XHTML" [XHTMLMOD].

1. Introduction

1.1. XHTML for Small Information Appliances

HTML 4 was designed for large devices, overlapping windows/frames menus, mouse input pointing device, high powered CPU, large power supply. Requiring a full fledged computer for access to the World Wide Web excludes a large portion of the population from consumer device access of online information and services.

Because there are many ways to subset HTML, there are many almost identical subsets defined by organizations and companies. Without a common base set of features, developing applications for a wide range of Web clients is difficult.

The motivation for XHTML Basic is to provide an XHTML document type that can be shared across communities (e.g. desktop, TV, and mobile phones), and that is rich enough to be used for simple content authoring. New community-wide document types can be defined by extending XHTML Basic in such a way that XHTML Basic documents are in the set of valid documents of the new document type. Thus an XHTML Basic document can be presented on the maximum number of Web clients.

The document type definition for XHTML Basic is implemented based on the XHTML modules defined in Modularization of XHTML [XHTMLMOD].

1.2. Background and Requirements

Information appliances are targeted for particular uses. They support the features they need for the functions they are designed to fulfill. The following are examples of different information appliances:

Existing subsets and variants of HTML for these clients include "Compact HTML" [CHTML], the Wireless Markup Language [WML], and the "HTML 4.0 Guidelines for Mobile Access" [GUIDELINES]. The common features found in these document types include:

This set of HTML features has been the starting point for the design of XHTML Basic. The fact that most content developers are familiar with HTML makes it appropriate as a host language, that include markup modules from other languages using the methods described in "Modularization of XHTML" [XHTMLMOD]. For example, XHTML Basic may be extended with an event module that is more generic than the traditional HTML 4 event system or it could be extended by additional modules from XHTML Modularization such as the Script Module.

It is not the intention of XHTML Basic to limit the functionality of future languages. But since the features in HTML 4 (frames, advanced tables, a fixed set of attribute event handlers, etc.) were developed for a desktop computer type of client, they have proved to be inappropriate for many non-desktop devices. XHTML Basic will be extended and built upon. Extending XHTML from a common and basic set of features, instead of almost identical subsets or the too-large set of functions in HTML 4, will be good for interoperability on the Web, as well as for scalability.

Compared to the rich functionality of HTML 4, XHTML Basic may look like one step back, but in fact, it is two steps forward for clients that do not need what is in HTML 4 and for content developers who get one XHTML subset instead of many.

1.3. Design Rationale

This section explains why certain HTML features are not part of XHTML Basic.

1.3.1. Style Sheets

The style element is not supported. External style sheets are recommended. The link element can be used to include external style sheets. The div and span elements and the class attribute are supported to hook style information onto the structure. Separation between structure and presentation allows user agents to download the style sheets if they support style sheets; user agents that do not support style sheets can ignore the external stylesheet. The media attribute can be used to select the appropriate style sheets. See the section on "Media types" in the HTML 4.01 specification ([HTML4], section 14.2.4) for more details.

1.3.2. Script and Events

The script and noscript elements are not supported. Usually small devices have limited memory and CPU power. Execution of script programs may not be supported. Contents should be readable even if scripts are not executed.

Event handler attributes used to invoke script programs are not supported. Events are device dependent. An incoming-call event is unlikely to happen in a television. A generic event handling mechanism would be more appropriate than hardwiring the event names in the document type definition.

1.3.3. Presentation

Many simple Web clients cannot display fonts other than monospace. Bi-directional text, bold faced font, and other text extension elements are not supported. However, phrasal elements such as emphasize, em, and headings are supported.

It is recommended that style sheets be used to create a presentation that is appropriate for the device.

1.3.4. Forms

Basic XHTML forms ([XHTMLMOD], section 5.5.1) are supported. Since only devices with a local file system can take advantage of file and image input types in forms, they are not included in the basic forms. Also, content developers should keep in mind that users may not be able to input many characters from some devices (e.g. a mobile phone).

1.3.5. Tables

Basic XHTML tables ([XHTMLMOD], section 5.6.1) are supported, but tables can be difficult to display on small devices. It is recommended that content developers follow the accessibility guidelines for tables ([WAI-WEBCONTENT], Guideline 5). Note that in the Basic Tables Module, nesting of tables is prohibited.

1.3.6. Frames

Frames are not supported. Frames depend on a screen interface and may not be applicable to some small appliances like phones, pagers, and watches.

2. Conformance

This section is normative.

2.1. Document Conformance

A Conforming XHTML Basic document is a document that requires only the facilities described as mandatory in this specification. Such a document must meet all of the following criteria:

  1. The document must conform to the constraints expressed in appendix B.
  2. The root element of the document must be <html>.
  3. The name of the default namespace on the root element must be the XHTML namespace name, http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml.
  4. There must be a DOCTYPE declaration in the document prior to the root element. If present, the public identifier included in the DOCTYPE declaration must reference the DTD found in Appendix B using its Formal Public Identifier. The system identifier may be modified appropriately.
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/xhtml-basic10.dtd">
    
  5. The DTD subset must not be used to override any parameter entities in the DTD.

2.2. User Agent Conformance

The user agent must conform to the "User Agent Conformance" section of the XHTML specification ([XHTML1], section 3.2).

3. The XHTML Basic Document Type

This section is normative.

The XHTML Basic document type is defined as a set of XHTML modules. All XHTML modules are defined in the "Modularization of XHTML" specification [XHTMLMOD].

XHTML Basic consists of the following XHTML modules:

Structure Module*
body, head, html, title
Text Module*
abbr, acronym, address, blockquote, br, cite, code, dfn, div, em, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, kbd, p, pre, q, samp, span, strong, var
Hypertext Module*
a
List Module*
dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li
Basic Forms Module
form, input, label, select, option, textarea
Basic Tables Module
caption, table, td, th, tr
Image Module
img
Object Module
object, param
Metainformation Module
meta
Link Module
link
Base Module
base

(*) = This module is a required XHTML Host Language module.

An XML 1.0 DTD is available in Appendix B.

NOTE: Since the HTML event handler attributes are not included in XHTML Basic, form controls outside forms may not function as expected by the user.

4. How to Use XHTML Basic

Although XHTML Basic can be used as it is - a simple XHTML language with text, links, and images - the intention of its simple design is for use as a host language. A host language can contain a mix of vocabularies all rolled into one document type. It is natural that XHTML is the host language, since that is what most Web developers are used to.

When markup from other languages is added to XHTML Basic, the resulting document type will be an extension of XHTML Basic. Content developers can develop for XHTML Basic or take advantage of the extensions. The point is that XHTML Basic always is the common language that user agents support.

B.3. XHTML Basic Customizations

An XHTML Family Document Type (such as XHTML Basic) must define the content model that it uses. This is done through a separate content model module that is instantiated by the XHTML Modular Framework. The content model module and the XHTML Basic Driver (above) work together to customize the module implementations to the document type's specific requirements. The content model module for XHTML Basic is defined below:
