Re: proper use of validation icons

XHTML with XML that's like having Farmed eggs with a side of Free range
eggs,

I smiled at this post.

 

But clueless is a wee bit cruel.

XML and XHTML derive from the same Mummy:- SGML (Standard Generalised Markup
Language <http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/SGML/> ), with HTML(HyperText Markup
Language) being the big sister to XML (eXtensible Markup Language)and XHTML
(eXtensible HyperText Markup Language) being the toddler of the family but
growing at a rate.

Basically all are Markup languages (Meta Languages) and the difference is
that XHTML conforms to what big sister XML tells it to.

There are slight differences in tags too:

 eg 

HTML <img src="mypic.png" alt="lookatmypic"><br>

XHTML <img src="mypic.png" alt="lookatmypic" /><br />

XML <image>
<name>lookatmypic</name>
<image>mypic.png</image>
<url>http://www.mypics/ target=_blank</url>
</image>

 

So using application/XHTML+XML is like teaching a marathon runner to Jog.

 

Thanks
