The web developer community went through this exercise once before (around 2002-2006) to see what it took to use XHTML. That was so hard that almost all those participating are now using HTML (again). By publishing this document you'll get the same experiment, but with even tougher requirements. It will waste the time of those naive enough to take it serious, and indeed, waste the time of those not naive through misguided activism. -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
