-----Original Message----- Jesper Tverskov Thanks, Julian but I have already dealt with 'Quirks mode' in IE in the article, and it's not a problem: http://www.smackthemouse.com/xhtmlxml#h29 at which you say, <quote>When moving to XHTML served as XML, we still serve text/html to Internet Explorer 6.0. It is only natural not to use the XML declaration when XHTML 1.0 Strict is served as text/html. It is not XML.</quote> What of the encoding issues possibly excluded by the encoding statement? And if there is any embedded content from another namespace? Quote from another list this morning... quite relevant. http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/ suggests application/xhtml+xml. "[T]he use of 'text/html' SHOULD be limited to HTML-compatible XHTML 1.0 documents." The discussion of HTML-compatible XHTML refers to the guidelines in XHTML itself The discussion also says "In particular, 'text/html' is NOT suitable for XHTML Family document types that adds elements and attributes from foreign namespaces, such as XHTML+MathML [XHTML+MathML]." regards DaveP ** snip here ** -- DISCLAIMER: NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.
