It's unclear whether you're talking about one of the WHATWG specs, or the WHATWG site itself. Either way, the answer is the same: The browser that currently has the largest market share by far does not support XHTML. There is no reason to design a site (or spec) around a technology that cannot be used by the majority of your readership, when an 'older' technology works perfectly well for _all_ readers. With regard to the specs themselves, Web Forms 2 extends both HTML and XHTML simultaneously; I would imagine that the others will as well. Regards, Malcolm
