5. XHTML Abstract Modules

Contents

This section is normative.

This section specifies the contents of the XHTML abstract modules. These modules are abstract definitions of collections of elements, attributes, and their content models. These abstract modules can be mapped onto any appropriate specification mechanism. XHTML DTD Module Implementations, for example, maps these modules onto DTDs as described in [XML].

Content developers and device designers should view this section as a guide to the definition of the functionality provided by the various XHTML-defined modules. When developing documents or defining a profile for a class of documents, content developers can determine which of these modules are essential for conveying their message. When designing clients, device designers should develop their device profiles by choosing from among the abstract modules defined here.

Except when overridden in this document, the semantics of these elements and attributes are defined in [HTML4].

5.1. Attribute Collections

Many of the abstract modules in this section define the required attributes for elements. The table below defines some collections of attributes that are referenced throughout the modules. These expressions should in no way be considered normative or mandatory. They are an editorial convenience for this document. When used in the remainder of this section, it is the expansion of the term that is normative, not the term itself.

The following basic attribute sets are used on many elements. In each case where they are used, their use is identified via their collection name rather than enumerating the list.

Each of the attributes defined in an XHTML attribute collection is available for use when their corresponding module is included in an XHTML Host Language or an XHTML Integration Set. In such a situation, the attributes are available for use in the definition of elements that are NOT in the XHTML namespace when they are referenced using their namespace-qualified identifier (e.g., xhtml:class). The semantics of the attributes remain the same regardless of whether they are referenced using their qualified identifier or not. It is an error to use an XHTML namespace-qualified attribute on elements from the XHTML Namespace.

For the avoidance of doubt, if an attribute collection is referenced by an element's definition, and an attribute in that collection is also explicitly referenced by that element's definition, this does NOT cause a conflict. It is up to the markup language schema implementation to update the content models accordingly.

Collection Name Attributes in Collection
Core xml:space ("default"* | "preserve"), class (CDATA), id (ID), title (CDATA)
I18N dir ("ltr" | "rtl"), xml:lang (CDATA)
Events onclick (Script), ondblclick (Script), onmousedown (Script), onmouseup (Script), onmouseover (Script), onmousemove (Script), onmouseout (Script), onkeypress (Script), onkeydown (Script), onkeyup (Script)
Style style (CDATA)
Common Core + Events + I18N + Style

Note that the Events collection is only defined when the Intrinsic Events Module is selected. Otherwise, the Events collection is empty.

Also note that the Style collection is only defined when the Style Attribute Module is selected. Otherwise, the Style collection is empty.

Finally, note that the I18N collection only contains the xml:lang attribute unless the Bi-directional Text Module module is selected.

5.2. Core Modules

The core modules are modules that are required to be present in any XHTML Family Conforming Document Type.

5.2.1. Structure Module

The Structure Module defines the major structural elements for XHTML. These elements effectively act as the basis for the content model of many XHTML family document types. The elements and attributes included in this module are:

Elements Attributes Minimal Content Model
body Common (Heading | Block | List)*
head I18N, id (ID), profile (URIs) title
html I18N, id (ID), version (CDATA), xmlns (URI = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml") head, body
title I18N, id (ID) PCDATA

This module is the basic structural definition for XHTML content. The html element acts as the root element for all XHTML Family Document Types.

Note that the value of the xmlns attribute is defined to be "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml". Also note that because the xmlns attribute is treated specially by XML namespace-aware parsers [XMLNAMES], it is legal to have it present as an attribute of each element. However, any time the xmlns attribute is used in the context of an XHTML module, whether with a prefix or not, the value of the attribute shall be the XHTML namespace defined here. See Defining the Namespace of a Module for more on rules regarding namespace usage with XHTML family modules.

When this module is used, it adds the base element to the content model of the head element of the Structure Module.

Implementations: DTD, XML Schema

5.21. Name Identification Module

This module is deprecated.

The Name Identification Module defines the attribute name for a collection of elements. The name attribute was used historically to identify certain elements within HTML documents. While the name attribute has been supplanted by the id attribute in all of these elements, there may be instances where markup languages will wish to support both. Such markup languages may do so by including this module.

Note that by including this module, both the name and id attributes are defined for the elements indicated. In this situation, if the name attribute is defined for an element, the id attribute must also be defined. Further, these attributes must both have the same value. Finally, when documents that use this attribute are served as Internet Media Type "text/xml" or "application/xml", the value of the name attribute on these elements shall not be used as a fragment identifier.

Elements Attributes Notes
a& name (CDATA)  
applet& name (CDATA) When the Applet Module is selected.
frame& name (CDATA) When the Frames Module is selected. 
iframe& name (CDATA) When the Iframe Module is selected. 
map& name (CDATA) When the Client-side Image Map Module is selected.

Implementations: DTD, XML Schema

5.22. Legacy Module

This module is deprecated.

The Legacy Module defines elements and attributes that were already deprecated in previous versions of HTML and XHTML, and remain deprecated in XHTML Modularization. Markup language authors should no longer use these elements and attributes.

Note: This module is not intended to reproduce all of the deprecated elements, attributes, and content models. Just those that were thought to be of maximal use at the time this specification was written.

The following table defines the elements and attributes that are defined when the Legacy Module is selected.

Elements Attributes Minimal Content Model
basefont color (Color), face (CDATA), id (ID), size (CDATA) EMPTY
