RE: DR 10-0025 ? WML: A required attribute @val only in the conformance class “Transitional”

[Chris Rae]

Hello there - I think it is inevitable. If the entire parent element is missing, that is already the default as stated by Part 1 on page 752:

"If this element is not present, then the character set for this font shall be assumed to be the ISO/IEC 8859-1
character set."

If we change this behaviour we'd be breaking compatibility for both Strict and Transitional documents.

I do not like "8859-1" as the default.  Is this inevitable?

Cheers,
