Comment (by brian):
My understanding is that XHTML is still a current standard, even with
HTML5.
See http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/, note the title "A vocabulary and
associated APIs for HTML and XHTML". This was published last month.
As such, the response in #19363 implying that HTML5 replaces XHTML is
nonsense.
Also it possible to add something like the following in the <head> section
to force use of HTML, even when XHTML is the default:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
I feel that something like Django should really keep up with the modern
standards.
