Olivier Someone pointed me to the XHTML 1.1 Second Edition Working Draft dated 16 February 2007 which says, "XHTML 1.1 documents SHOULD be labeled with the Internet Media Type text/html as defined in [ RFC2854 ] or application/xhtml+xml as defined in [ RFC3236 ]. For further information on using media types with XHTML, see the informative note [ XHTMLMIME ]." http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/xhtml11-diff.html#strict Oddly enough, the referenced "informative note" XHTMLMIME is the exact document you cite above as saying XHTML 1.1 SHOULD NOT be delivered as text/html. So I guess/hope that if this draft is approved then the note will be updated. -- Philip http://NikitaTheSpider.com/ Whole-site HTML validation, link checking and more
