Indeed. I fail to see how this is relevant to this discussion, though. Not saying that you do, but if you are implying it is a good thing to scare authors away from using XHTML by having unnecessary differences between HTML and XHTML, then I disagree. The confusion results in questions, and to answer the questions you need to explain how the system works, which is not trivial to do. If this difference is taken away, then the questions would not be asked, and the authors can instead spend their time doing more productive things. -- Simon Pieters
