Kynn: "(I will and do write XSLT to create XHTML, but that's pretty much different from what we're talking about here, I think.)" No, that's my point. If you're writing new pages in HTML, why not use XHTML instead of a bastardized HTML 3.2 filled with proprietary tags? (Note: this is a rhetorical question, Kynn.) Yes, it would be best to write them in XML with an XSLT transformation applied to make them XHTML, but my point was to simplify things, not to further complicate them. The people I'd like to see using XHTML are the people currently coding pages using bad WYSIWYG editors or hand-coding with obsolete code. XHTML, despite the X in its name, is actually simpler than current practice. They didn't ADD elements, they took them away. I think this discussion has played itself out, Kynn. Let's just agree to disagree, eh? Charles Munat
