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".

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas 
Jefferson
