I checked google and this page seems to be trying to say it but still
doesn't tell me:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#xhtml
So it lets people design new types of web presentation tools (like new
html tags?) in a way that can be easily standardized (and automatically
interpreted?). What I also have understood is that it's sort of a
database type format that allows relation many-to-many type
associations. It seems like it somehow takes whatever tricks the author
has up their sleeve and interprets that into plain old html pages. So
it's kind of a programming language like java where trickier things can
be done and the browser knows how to read the script. In this canse I
guess it must be limited to things that would not pose a security risk,
such as simply presenting information but not effecting your machine in
any way like java will do.
Am I understanding this?
Any examples of tricky things that could be done such as database
manipulation?
