A bit off topic - but i'll keep it short May I suggest updating the validation best practice text to say - validate XHTML1.1 Strict. I mean if we urge people to do it right - urge them to really do it right - it really does solve more problems for developers than it causes.
Except that sending XHTML 1.0 Strict as text/html is valid, but sending XHTML 1.1 Strict as text/html is not right, according to the W3C. Since we can't send things as text/xml+html because IE is a broken ancient piece of popular crap, that means XHTML 1.0 is as up to date as we can support and still be "right".
How right you are - XHTML 1.0 Strict it is. Notwithstanding the 'potential' problems with sending xhtml as text/html - see: http://www.hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml (or google for similar documents) - the idea is to encourage the creation of valid markup - and have all markup passed through a validator first (which eliminates the 'real' problems). On that note - it might be a good idea to include links to pages like: http://www.hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml part of the best practices documentation. andre ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!
