THE XML SPECIFICATION GUIDE

Errata for Appendix D, Part 3:
XML for HTML Experts

Page 361, second-to-last paragraph.

Some markup was lost. The paragraph should read:
In XML, element names are case-sensitive. In XML, all element names are case-sensitive, while in HTML they are not. Thus, in HTML, the markup <P> paragraph </p> is correct, while in XML it is a fatal error, as the end tag </p> does not have a matching start tag.

Page 361, last paragraph.

Some markup was lost. The paragraph should read:
In XML, attribute names are case-sensitive. In XML, attribute names are also case-sensitive, so that the tag <a href="ref1" Href="ref2"> is correct XML, as the two attributes href and Href are different. In HTML, attribute names are case-insensitive, so that the preceding tag would be an error -- the two attributes would be seen as identical, and it is illegal (in both XML and HTML) to specify the same attribute more than once on the same element.
