As long as they do literal and perfect cut-n-paste yes. However many will copy and forget an end tag, or copy and make a few modifications to adjust the contents to their need. Or look at what others have done and recreate something from scratched based on that experience, but not do a perfect job. If people want XML-perfect syntax and error handling HTML provides that, by using the application/xhtml+xml mime type. If people don't want that, they should use the text/html mime type with all the error recovery that comes with that. / Jonas
