XHTML 1.1 should not be served as text/html (see http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/NOTE-xhtml-media-types-20020430/#summary). But if I create an XHTML 1.1 document with Amaya, it automatically adds a <meta> for text/html. > Amaya does coherent things: the mime type in the meta and the http put header > are the same. I created a local file, and it still used text/html, even if the extension was .xml. > If I understand your point of view, the author chooses to create a XHTML or > a HTML document but Amaya should not give information about the mime type. No my opinion is that Amaya shouldn't give the *wrong* information about the mime type. Steven
