(Sorry for previous blank email) XHTML is preferable to HTML for many people because tools for XML are stable and mature. Even HTML 5 is permitted to be serialized as XHTML (meaning you close tags that do not technically need to be closed, you self-close certain tags, etc). If we move to HTML 5 there is definite value to making sure it is XHTML compatible. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
