How much would it cost to make xhtml 1.1 top of the priority list?

For you, I think it's easy; it's just a question of fixing the case of

tags, attribute quote marks, etc., in the existing HTML output. For me,

it's an awful job because I have to re-integrate my changes into every

update you put out. I bet it would take you less than an hour, and I'd

pay $200 US (that's really all I can afford). Anyone else want to chip

in? My current project is stalled until we have this, and it'd be worth

the money to me. I've been waiting a year already, and if you keep

stalling on it, I'm screwed. If you didn't intend to do it, I really

wish you hadn't promised it in 2002. I wouldn't have put all this time

into learning TRichView without that promise. For nearly three years,

valid XHTML has been an absolute condition of all our projects. I

couldn't release any product with obsolete html output even if I wanted to.

If you make the current output XHTML 1.1, it will still work just fine

on old browsers, but it'll have all the great advantages of being valid

XML as well. I don't see any reason for not doing this. Please go for it!

Cheers,

Martin
