Yes, but it would give to web developers a chance to understand immediately the necessity for valid and well-formed XHTML pages. I knew in advance that my proposal is a bit paradoxical, because it tends to raise the threshold of difficulty in producing accessible web pages nor I thought it could be actually accepted. My intention was, and is, to bring out the contradiction existing between the effort to ensure the full validity of millions of web pages, for guideline respect's sake, and a context in which all those pages are served as text/html. In such a context, the effort to reach the full code validity on every page published seems to me as useless as it would be washing again and again my own hands while working in the mud. A guideline requesting a content-type of application/xhtml+xml would eliminate the mud, if nothing else. Regards, Michele
