I am very happy that the <link> tags are included; the only problem is that the "title" attribute contains embedded tags. As the HTML standard explains: The title attribute gives the title of the link. With one exception, it is purely advisory. The value is text. All user agents I know that display the "title" attribute do display it as plain text. That said, I would agree with calling it wishlist/wontfix. I'm reopening the bug for documentation, so people looking at the BTS can find another reason to switch to docbook. > There are some console browsers such as w3m which can > handle this OK. That sounds like a bug in w3m, then. Though I do not actually see the <link> tags when I open policy in w3m --- are you sure w3m even tries to handle this? > If you can cite some RFC > etc., then this is real minor bug otherwise this is wishlist bug which I > will mark as wontfix since I am not going to change this old program's > behavior any more unless it is gross problem.

All the examples of anchor targets (<a name="foo">) in the HTML standard use it to enclose some descriptive text or similar content. Christoph's example of using a stylesheet to highlight link targets certainly puts it in the realm of what the WCAG are supposed to describe. But I admit, I cannot find any document that comes out and says so. > I should say the more useful wishlist bug is "debian-policy should use > DocBook XML for source" :-) *nod* Now that the debiandoc side has been nicely filed away, I'm retitling the bug. Hint to anyone working on this: the debconf spec is already DocBook XML, so you can steal its rules. Thanks for a thorough response.
