Dear W3C,
I am scripting a website in XHTML 1.1 Transitional, this is the DTD:
<><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
However I cannot validate any page where lists are nested -- in spite of
carefully adhering to the CSS2 recommendations. I should point out that
the page looks fine in Internet Explorer 6.0, Netscape 7, Opera 7 and
the latest version of Mozilla. After browsing the web, it would seem
that I am not the only web developer who has this problem -- many are of
the opinion that there is a glich in XHTML 1.1 since there appears to be
no way to nest lists according to CSS specifications and create valid
pages at the same time. Is this the case?
What are the implications for future interoperability if I ignore the
error messages?
Yours faithfully,
Ray Mullan
