Hi,
disagree. parsing html is very problematic, while xhtml is xml, i really think that an xhtml->html transition would be bad. what would be the valid content-type? text/xhtml? you are right about we should fix that
For XHTML "application/xhtml+xml" is the correct media/content/MIME type, however microsofts internet explorer does not display files served as this and instead prompts the user to download the file. What is being served now is NOT XHTML, just try serving the same files with the correct type and they will literally render differently. There are a several options regarding this: 1. Use HTML4 and keep the text/html media type which would be correct. You can still make HTML that parses easily as XML by being careful e.g. using <img src="blah" /> and <br/> are still valid in HTML - just not required. Taking all this into account what issues would this cause? 2. Serve XHTML as application/xhtml+xml to non-ie browsers and fall-back to text/html for ie with server-side logic. 3. Continue pretending that valid XHTML can be served with a text/html media type. _______________________________________________ Frugalware-devel mailing list [email protected] http://frugalware.org/mailman/listinfo/frugalware-devel
