This is a bug in the XHTML spec. As I've reported before [1], the XHTML spec goes WAY out of its juresdiction in its conformance section. Mozilla has worked around this by not claiming to be an XHTML UA. Mozilla is an XML UA with built-in knowledge of the XHTML1 namespace, but it is _not_ an XHTML UA, and is therefore not technically bound by the XHTML conformance requirements... :-) [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-talk/2001MayJun/0141.html -- Ian Hickson )\._.,--....,'``. fL "meow" /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,. http://index.hixie.ch/ `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.'
