It seems an ever-present issue on mailing lists that some people send
HTML posts, and other people get annoyed with this.
Has anyone thought of defining a minimal DTD for mailing list postings?
No-one really wants/needs the full capabilities of HTML, yet it would be
nice to have -something- more sophisticated than plain text.
I would be happy with two features: an anchor tag <a href=.."></a> for
embedding URLs, and a way of indicating quoted text. Ie:
<quote sender="joe@foo.com" lang="en">
blah blah..
</quote>
"quote" elements can be nested, which makes a nice alternative to
growing sets of '>'s.
As long as simplicity is the primary goal, text marked up in such a
fashion will be readable by everyone.
Thoughts?
