Differences on the syntax level are all easily altered later using something like html5lib. The problem is more with scripting, CSS differences, etc. Having said that, we're trying to reduce the amount of scripting differences and the CSS differences can be removed. Also there are things like <style> and <script> which fundamentally have different syntax in XML and HTML. You could use some weird workarounds there too though, I suppose. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
