The problem with all the XHTML2-attribs (srctype, hreftype, hreflang) based on http content negotiation is that a) servers will ignore them or handle them in unexpected ways (try get http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/ as "application/xml,application/xhtml+xml": you'll receive "text/html") b) they fail miserably in non-negotiating environments
