It would be nice, but would only work if -every- browser did it.
Otherwise the general opinion would be "This new 'Standards
Compliant' browser is broken! Luckilly IE still works."
If you have XHTML, and serve it as application/xml. then in modern
browsers you'll get your wish :-)
Of course, you'll have problems with IE as well, regardless of
whether it is valid or not. :-/
