Jirka,
I don't know enough about programming to respond to your concern over XHTML 1.1 so I don't see any problems going for XHTML 1.0. Any problems going with the "strict" recommendation, or should we stick with "transitional".
strict is 'simpler' than transitional. That would be an easier target.
5. The only DIV to be created inside the main content will be for admonitions, sidebar and highlights.
Why? That way you will not be able to control rendering of whole section or titlepage for example. Current stylesheets wrap these structures inside <div class="section"> or <div class="titlepage"> respectively.
From a web standards perspective, the only real reason to add DIVs is when you need separate content from the normal flow.
My view. Keep it simple, very simple. Omit all the class attributes, nested divisions, etc etc. I.e. all content is part of the normal flow.
For instance, with all due respect to developped the stylesheets, I don't understand the logic of using the <div class="titlepage"> or the <div class="section">.
If anything, controlling style and rendering gets increasingly confusing as you add DIVs. While I am certain that we will add DIVs as this process develops, for the moment I would rather strip all DIVs as a "guiding principle" unless there is an obvious need to separate the content from the flow.
Agree. The simpler the better.
