Hello,
Fujisawa-san suggests in http://www.pwg.org/hypermail/xp/0087.html that we
either drop support for the presentation module or add an explanation for
why both it and the CSS constructs in the CSS Print Profile are needed. The
following is an proposal for an addition to the rationale for the inclusion
of the presentation module in XHTML-Print. This explanation would follow the
current text in Section 1.3.3 Presentation
(http://www.pwg.org/xhtml-print/HTML-Version/XHTML-Print.html#s1.3).
"The Presentation module, section 5.4.1 of [XHTMLMOD] is supported since it
contains elements that are both structural and presentational and provides
the only method for specifying rules (the hr element). This modules provides
the convenient structural mark up commands for superscripts and subscripts,
replicating the usual rendering of superscripts and subscripts using the
class attribute of the span element and CSS style sheets is not as
convenient or clear as supporting the sub and sup elements. Additionally,
this module provides common presentational markup commands such as bold,
italic, big text, small text, and teletype. Supporting this module allows a
printer to render these common elements in a manner that appropriate for its
capabilities using CSS properties."
Please review this statement and post comments and suggests to the XP list.
