Note to Mark (and others) W3C says XHTML 1.0 does not have to be sent as application/xhtml+xml.. It says should not must.
Mark comments that he has migrated back to HTML4, which has caused its own problems. Will Mark turn to ASCII?
Personally I think the whole MIME type thing is bunk. If I send XHTML as text/html it works; if I sent it as anything else, it probably breaks.
Old joke: Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this Doctor: Don’t do that
New World Order: Designer: My Website breaks when I do this Suggestion: Don’t do that
XHTML 1.0 should be sent as application/xhtml+xml the MIME type itself reveals how stupid the thought process was, and how far removed from reality/sanity by not just making it much simpler, like “text/xhtml” The spec does not say it
Just an idea. That is all ‡
