Okay, Don't serve up XHTML 1.0 has text/html, application XHTML 1.0 SHOULD be served as application/xhtml+xml. There's a simple solution, author your documents as HTML 4.01, it's more supported (Appendix C only gives a profile compatible with "most" html user agents) and it has established QA tools (such as the W3's validator) unlike Appendix C which has none. The thing is, I know Brian knows that, the rest of his briefings are excellent, there's nothing to educate him on in the area, it just seemed necessary to point out the problem. It's unfortunate that it's an example of Flavell's law, and I could perhaps have pointed it out more politely, but it's a pretty elementary mistake highlighting the lack of QA tools. If we're going to public evangelise standards, we need to be whiter than white, we can't be shot down on the markup of our resources, non-Appendix C XHTML 1.0 makes that all too easy. Jim.
