In practical terms, XHTML 1.1 Basic is an exercise in futility, and so is XHTML 1.1 as a whole.

That's rather confusing, though probably with good intentions. It's of no use really. All this "tentatively" stuff is just a big confusion. It tries to make validation easier than it can possibly be. > I'm using > > <!DOCTYPE XHTML Basic 1.1 PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.1//EN" > "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/xhtml-basic11.dtd"> No, I see <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> when I view the source of your page. > What is the correct DTD to use? Technically, the one your syntax is supposed to conform to. In practice, HTML 4.01 for new documents, mostly. -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
