Internet Explorer Lynx Links W3M GoogleBot Then we have Konqueror which seems to run documents served as application/xhtml+xml through a tag soup slurper (I'd guess Safari does the same), and Opera which is confident enough in its XML engine that, I am told, it makes its requests with an accept header including a lowerer quality value for XHTML. Its going to be a long time before browsers really catchup. However, that doesn't answer my question. Why XHTML 1.1 (as text/html) and NOT 1.0 + Appendix C? -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk
