For example, this perfectly valid HTML 4.01 document is rendered in a different way in IE, Firefox und Opera: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"> <html> <head><title></title></head> <body> <p><a href="http://www.w3.org/"><img alt="W3C" src="http://www.w3.org/Icons/w3c_main"</a> Should this text be underlined?</p> </body> </html> On the other hand, existing HTML user agents do support XHTML that complies with Appendix C. > so the benefits can be gained for writing XHTML and for storing data > in that format, and it can be transformed to HTML before serving to > clients.
