In this document the term HTML is used to refer to the XHTML dialect of HTML [XHTML].

A serious editorial note: I find this sentence up front to be surprising 
and a little scary:

"In this document the term HTML is used to refer to the XHTML dialect of 
HTML [XHTML]."

Editorially, this is wrong and likely to be confusing. If you 
specifically mean XHTMl and *not* classic HTML, then you should say at 
each occurrence. Please do not attempt to redefine the well-understood 
term "HTML" to mean something new.

When I read HTML,  I usually think it includes classic HTML and 
well-formed XHTML, but I never think it's only XHTML.
