Xhtml

Interesting read: http://hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml

What do you think Digital?

This is one solution: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/...2Dec/0005.html

But do you think we should just stick to HTML until all browsers are ready to be served XHTML as application/xhtml+xml?

Hmm.. interesting documents. For those few Newbie out there that have no idea what XHTML is, it is HTML written using the XML control guidelines.

Those documents talk a common issue with anyone working with XHTML. Before I discuss this, I would like to mention that XML (eXtendable Markup Language) was not originally designed to be used for websites, although it resembles HTML 4.0 standard ideas (only a lot stricter)..

XHTML was designed to become the web xml standard. However it is way to early to effectively serve xhtml, since a lot of browsers complain about mime types.

Stick with HTML 4.01 for now, until all the browsers can agree on what needs to be supported.

No Problem.. there has been a lot going on with XML, it was designed to replace most databases, but it is still too young yet..

Not many people who do.. not many, it has been around a while, and starting to find some uses for it, like rss, the databases for them are usually XML.. so you have to use Sablotron XML Extension for PHP to process them.. lmao
