Alan, XHTML 2 is not meant to be backwards compatible. As IE doesn't officially support XHTML 2 at all (as, to my knowledge, no browser does natively), this discussion is irrelevant, IMHO. XHTML 2 should not be sent to anything other than user agents which (will eventually) support it. Any similarities between XHTML 2 and XHTML 1.x are purely coincidental, if you will. -- Patrick H.

Just look at all their CSS bugs they have in the name of 'backwards-compatibily' and 'consistancy'. But that's my point: XHTML 2 as a specification is not meant to be backwards compatible, so there's no excuse or reason for saying our XHTML 2 implements it this way so that older browsers can access it as well. -- Patrick H.
