: application/xhtml+xml

What's this? It's what the site I'm working on started with:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html lang="en" xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

: Why not Strict?

Why strict? I started using transitional and it worked fine, and I
didn't give it much thought until I ended working on a site the an
XHTML doctype.

Thanks. I'll try to read those when I have time to think about it.

What's this?

thats the mime for genuine xhtml, after you've fiddled with genuine
xhtml to make pretend xhtml you use text/html for its mime

The content can be read, links to other pages work.

Sounds reasonable. To me, "works" means that the formatting appears
and looks OK, but we all have our preferences.

In case you didn't know, in NN 4.08 (one of the browsers on your
list), the "Skip to navigation" link just brings up "#sidebar" in the
address line but nothing else. The other links don't go anywhere
either.

Thanks everyone for your responses to this thread. I still don't have
time to look into XHTML more, but I will when I have time.
