Good stuff in XHTML 2.0

Jan 27, 2006 by Andre
Part two in The Future of HTML series talks more about XHTML2.0. APIs are likely to include:
  • An API for dealing with the browser Window object
  • DOM Level 3 Events and XPath specifications
  • An API for timed events
  • APIs for non-HTTP networking, such as XMPP or SIP
  • An API for client-side persistent storage
  • An API for drag and drop
  • An API for monitoring downloads
  • An API for uploading files

[XHTML2.0 will] allow any element to have a src attribute. A browser will then replace the element's content with that of the content at the URI. In the simple case, this is an image. But nothing says it can't be SVG, XHTML, or any other content type that the browser is able to render.
