XHTML 2 is a general-purpose markup language designed for representing documents for a wide range of purposes across the World Wide Web. To this end it does not attempt to be all things to all
people, supplying every possible markup idiom, but to supply a generally useful set of elements.
This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of
this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at http://www.w3.org/TR/.
This document is the sixth public Working Draft of this specification. It should in no way be considered stable, and should
not be normatively referenced for any purposes whatsoever. This version includes an early implementation of XHTML 2.0 in RELAX NG [RELAXNG], but
does not include the implementations in DTD or XML Schema form. Those will be included in subsequent versions, once the content of this language stabilizes. This version also does
not address the issues revolving around the use of [XLINK] by XHTML 2.0. Those issues are being worked independent of the evolution of this
specification. Those issues should, of course, be resolved as quickly as possible, and the resolution will be reflected in a future draft. Finally, the Working Group is actively working to resolve
many of the issues that have been submitted by the public, but not all of them have been addressed yet. If your particular issue has not yet been addressed, please be patient - there are many issues,
and some are more complex than others.
