The note clearly states that if the HTML Compatibility Guidelines of the XHTML 1.0 spec are met, then XHTML 1.0 may be served as text/html: <http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/NOTE-xhtml-media-types-20020801/#text-html> It only later says that if you are serving XHTML 1.0 to "XHTML user agents", then it should be served as applicatoin/xhtml+xml: <http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/NOTE-xhtml-media-types-20020801/#application-xhtml-xml> Clearly the vast majority of user agents out there being catered to are not XHTML ones. They're HTML ones. Bill Mason Accessible Internet w3c@accessibleinter.net http://www.accessibleinter.net/
