Inasmuch as I am retired and therefor have lots of "play time" on my hands, I decided to convert all of my existing web pages (78) from existing HTML 4.0/4.01 to XHTML 1.0 (although I have retained copies in the HTML iterations in case I want to revert). I did this for there seems to be no doubt that XHTML will soon be adopted as the defacto web authoring language in order to accommodate the various wireless/handheld device Browsers that will soon be forthcoming. The DTD's for XHTML 1.0 are now available for Validation on the W3C page (I provide a clickable hyperlink on the Validation page of my mini-site in my signature block). Of course the current iteration of XHTML 1.0 is at present only a proposed recommendation of W3C (the usual Caveats apply), but I believe the eventual form and substance will not differ too much - if the DTD's change somewhat, I will adjust my coding. In any event, I have validated all of my pages as XHTML 1.0 in the W3C HTML validator, the W3C Cascading Style Sheet validator and the XML.com (RUWF - R U Well Formed?) validator (again, I have provided a hyperlink to this facility on the Validation page of my mini-site). The point of all this is that I used TIDY to convert all of my web pages to XML/XHTML - solely - I just ran 'em through with nary a hitch! (Of course, I had previously validated the HTML code). So far I have checked my XHTML 1.0 pages in the following Browsers, where they perform/display as designed: MS Internet Explorer ver 5.0 MS Internet Explorer ver 4.0, 4.x Netscape Navigator 4.x Opera 3.60 Web TV 2.0 Lynx 2.7, 2.8 Amaya 2.2 OBR (Optical Braille Recognition) Thanks Dave Raggett!
