>But it does display valid XHTML with no problems so there's >nothing stopping developers using it is there?? No, for various reasons already pointed out in this thread. An important one that hasn't been mentioned though, is that in XHTML you can use a URL like - http://www.some-website.com/page.xht#second , to point to the section of code starting at <div id="second"> ....but if the document is rendered as HTML, this link will not work like that. I think links that don't work properly, can really confuse a person navigating the web. Small point... IE doesn't support HTMLs' <abbr>, which means it wouldn't support XHTMLs' <abbr> either. As far as I know, the only Windows browsers right now that can do XHTML justice, are Mozilla and Opera 7 (beta 2).
