Sorry Anne, I not mean that editors are doing a wrong work, but I think that making the examples full compliant both with HTML and XHTML is the perfect way to avoid HTML developers to led in errors. The example in the section 1.1 of the current WD uses an example that is semantically correct only in HTML 4 (and the will 5?) but if someone would use the example in an XHTML page, it will produce an invalid XHTML document. If we, instead, use an XHTML syntax (for the same example), when we will use it in our HTML 4 pages all works fine: the benefits are for all. We are suggesting to improve the documentation not for us, but for all. Remember: We are simply "Leading the web to it's full Potential..." (from: http://www.w3.org ).
