HI all:
Intel has just contributed javax.swing.text.html, based on HTML 4.01. Sun's
implementation, on the other hand, claims to be based on HTML 3.2, although
there are same differences.
=BFWhich one should we follow? =BFBoth? The parser behavior is parameterize=
d by
a DTD, so perhaps we should provide a 3.2 DTD, to be compatible with Sun,
and a 4.01 DTD.
Any ideas?
