As far as I'm concerned (very generally speaking of course) XHTML *is* HTML; the obvious difference being that it's extensible. It's still hypertext, it's still a markup language. Unless it becomes proposed that UA's distinguish HTML from XHTML via the root element, I see no reason to change it other than for the novelty of it. It will, in my humble opinion, just create unnecessary confusion unless like I mentioned it actually serves a purpose. > Why not change it to something like <xhtml>? Or if someone can't stand > that extra letter then we could also change it to <root>? No, if it were to be changed at all, <xhtml> would be the way to go. <root> is *far* too general. -Andy
