For web standards? Yes. For end users? No. If a page has a small error (and they do creep in from time-to-time, especially if you let other people edit a page), then giving the user an error would be very annoying. This won't happen in the short term as most XHTML is sent as text/html, so will still be sent through HTML4 parsers. I feel browsers should detect XHTML, and parse it through an XML parser. If that errors, tell the user there's an error but then still attempt to parse it through a HTML4 parser. -- Tom Gilder http://tom.me.uk/
