While engaged in the development of an updated system supporting Internet connectivity and a browser interface, we have encountered many of the ad-entry, markup, and transmission issues currently under discussion by the standards task force. We have addressed these issues, and others, in prototype development. We herein offer -- for the sake of discussion and in an effort to bring some obscure issues to light -- solutions our developers have incorporated in The Times the prototype. We anticipate that members of the standards task force will find this effort useful as they consider ways to resolve markup issues related to publishing in media-independent formats. We encourage members to engage in discussion of the enclosed draft XML DTD and its application in markup code. As the prototype evolves it continues to undergo broad examination..."
