Re: rich text

[Nathaniel Borenstein <nsb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not being an SGML expert, I can't really comment on this one, though
I've heard just the opposite opinion from others who do know SGML. 
However, I'm not convinced this should delay the RFC, for two reasons:

1.  Although being able to make a richtext DTD would be nice and was a
minor goal, I don't regard it as critical, by any means.  I would lose
no sleep over the loss of this capability.

2.  If some small changes to the richtext definition would ease the
definition of a DTD, we could easily include such changes in the final
Internet Standard version -- it certainly isn't critical if a few
details of richtext change between proposed standard and Internet
Standard.
