Subject: Review Materials Updated
X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas
X-Comment: HTML Implementation Group


I just updated the public copy of the review materials.

The detailed change log is enclosed...

The big change is that the DTD is now broken into three parts: Level
0, Level 1, and Level 2. There are element reference documents for
each level (one with obsolete and deprecated idioms, and one without).

The postscript version no longer contains the element reference,
since there are six of them now, and they overlap so much.

It would be nice to have one big table that summarizes all six
indexes, but I haven't figured out a way to do that yet.

I have spent quite a bit of time updating the test suite w.r.t.  all
this level stuff, but I haven't yet prepared it for distribution. That
will probably come tomorrow. Stay tuned...

Enclosed below is a patch file which would update the HTML 2.0
specification to include the proposed META element as per our
prior discussions on www-html and www-talk.  As far as I can tell,
it corresponds to the following additions to the DTD, but I am not
sufficiently fluent in SGML to verify its accuracy (and thus am
not including it as part of the patch file):
