Hi everyone, Just for the record and to know if there's a way to teach Web services providers to handle correctly mime types. So recently, I decided to switch a Web site to serve the pages with the mime-type "application/xhtml+xml". * Some versions of IE Windows failed completely to render the page, some others only the text without images and CSS, which is fine by me. I made it on purpose because Firefox, Opera, Safari can handle this mime-type at least. * The ping service weblogs.com seems to not accept this mime-type * Some automatic translation services like - babelfish of Altavista, - Google translation can't handle the mime-type and they return only the text in its original version. There's a french online service which perfectly works with it: trans.voila.fr. In fact the service uses Systran which works too www.systransoft.com/ It would be interesting to know if you have discovered other online services which can't handle properly application/xhtml+xml -- Karl Dubost - http://www.w3.org/People/karl/ W3C Conformance Manager *** Be Strict To Be Cool ***
