Wouldn't it be great if we could just write "please adhere to the relevant standards" to the entire Web development community and, poof, every single site out there would do everything right and nobody would express a less-than-perfectly-informed statement? We need supporters. A gentler hand would be able to explain any given spec and its benefits. Fortunately, there are quite a few in the W3C and on this list who do it right. That's why we're winning. * Ed. >>> "Jim Ley" <jim@jibbering.com> 2/10/2005 7:05:51 AM >>> "Jesper Tverskov" <jesper.tverskov@mail.tele.dk> wrote in message news:000001c50f67$3f5af1a0$440bc650@tversdatg7y7vv... > 1) First I test if an http accept-header exists.

This is incorrect, the presence of application/xhtml+xml in the accept header does not mean that the user can support that mime-type, please adhere to the relevant standards http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html and 3.9 Jim.
