IMO, the largest problem with the idea of HTML converting to XHTML is attempting to change the MIME Type, but not changing the extension. Though that is only a solution for simple setup; there are much more complicated problems with the conversion... the largest one being the current market leader doesn't support true XHTML, throwing the whole option out. And unfortunately, not all user agents correctly send back what file types they can handle, so checking the HTTP headers on the server side is only a solution for certain browsers. -- http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ - Get Firefox! http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/ - Reclaim Your Inbox!
