This is - literally - pointed out in the following document: ]] HTML 4.01 Specification W3C Recommendation 24 December 1999 [[ which says: ]] Latest version of HTML: http://www.w3.org/TR/html [[ Visiting that URL, one finds: ]] XHTML™ 1.0 The Extensible HyperText Markup Language (Second Edition) A Reformulation of HTML 4 in XML 1.0 W3C Recommendation 26 January 2000, revised 1 August 2002 [[ Which says: ]] 5. Compatibility Issues This section is normative. Although there is no requirement for XHTML 1.0 documents to be compatible with existing user agents, in practice this is easy to accomplish. Guidelines for creating compatible documents can be found in Appendix C. 5.1. Internet Media Type XHTML Documents which follow the guidelines set forth in Appendix C, "HTML Compatibility Guidelines" may be labeled with the Internet Media Type "text/html" [RFC2854], as they are compatible with most HTML browsers. Those documents, and any other document conforming to this specification, may also be labeled with the Internet Media Type "application/xhtml+xml" as defined in [RFC3236]. For further information on using media types with XHTML, see the informative note [XHTMLMIME]. [[ XHTML 1.0 has been located at that location at least since August year 2000: http://web.archive.org/web/20000817023845/http://www.w3.org/TR/html/ -- leif halvard silli
