In the "further reading" and "related links" sections, it might be better to link to http://mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/quirks/ rather than http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/quirks/doctypes.html . The former is the next level up in the hierarchy, and has a high level description, and points to doctypes.html and one other page for the details. It might also be interesting (if it's possible at all) to document ways, using common servers, to send a file with Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml if the client sends application/xhtml+xml in the Accept header (with equal or higher quality as text/html), and otherwise send Content-Type: text/html. (There doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this with Apache 1.3, as far as I can tell.) -David -- L. David Baron <URL: http://dbaron.org/ >
