Timothy Stone commented on STS-556:
-----------------------------------
I came to Stripes because it promised something that Struts and JSF did not...
developers and engineers that understood that the View was as important as the
Model and the Controller.
We should not be dismissing this as "not a bug," or "it's only a warning," or
worse, "I heard on the internets." Let's get to the heart of the problem.
This is a configuration issue or enhancement to the tag library. On the gmane
list, a great forum FAQ was cited,
http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=393445, and I'll back that up
with another great article on the argument of XHTML v. HTML from the engineers
of WebKit, http://webkit.org/blog/68/understanding-html-xml-and-xhtml/
"...the vast majority of supposedly XHTML documents on the internet are served
as text/html. Which means they are not XHTML at all, but actually invalid HTML
that's getting by on the error handling of HTML parsers. All those 'Valid XHTML
1.0!' links on the web are really saying 'Invalid HTML 4.01!'."
I see this as a problem that the default response to tags is rendering source
that follows the W3C recommendations for *porting* your HTML to XHTML. This
default response should be HTML. And an XHTML response should be configurable
by implementer of the library or the view developer.

> Key: STS-556
> URL: http://www.stripesframework.org/jira/browse/STS-556
> Project: Stripes
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: Release 1.5.1
> Reporter: Dan Kaplan
> Priority: Minor
>
> Hello, If I use an input tag like this:
> <stripes:text name="website.url" size="30"></stripes:text>
> It'll generate some html like this:
> <input name="website.url" type="text" size="30" />
> But, if your html is using a doctype like this:
> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
> "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";>
> That form is actually invalid. It should instead generate HTML like this:
> <input name="website.url" type="text" size="30">
> Or this:
> <input name="website.url" type="text" size="30" ></input>
> Here is a validator that you can test this with: http://validator.nu
> Paste this html into it to see for yourself:
> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
> "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";>
> <html>
> <head><title>title</title></head>
> <body>
> <form action="na">
> <div>
> <input name="website.url" type="text" size="30"/>
> </div>
> </form>
> </body>
> </html>
> This HTML will validate after you remove the trailing / on the input tag.
