Why o Why does a browser treat this xml file as an xhtml file.


<!DOCTYPE xc:content [
<!ENTITY % xhtml PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
%xhtml;
]>

<xc:xcontent xmlns:xc="http://www.wolterinkwebdesign.com/xml/xcontent" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" module="news">
<xc:nieuwsbericht>
<xc:id>1</xc:id>
<xc:title type="string"><![CDATA[Rob H slaat busruit kapot]]></xc:title>
<xc:date type="date"><![CDATA[2004-01-26]]></xc:date>
<xc:plaatje type="img"> <xc:empty/></xc:plaatje>

<xc:content type="html">

</xc:content>

I think i know why, because i included xhtml entities.
But i think the browser shoudl not show this as xhtml. Why does it do that!!?1

Elements in the default namespace which the browser thinks it knows
about and can render as XHTML elements, it then probably does so.

So I guess (you haven't told us excactly what is happening) that the
browser treats the document as an XML document containing some XHTML
elements which it renders as such, displaying the text content of
elemens in a namespace the browser doesn't know. I don't think it is
treated as a complete XHTML document.
If that is Mozilla, what does page info says?

It displays the same as a xhtml document like this (just the body):

<body>
Rob H slaat busruit kapot 2004-01-26
<p>Het kan &nbsp; ook neit naders, robh slaat de<em>
busruit ui de</em> gelersch taxi, kerls wat is die kerls

True

I don't think it is
treated as a complete XHTML document.

Type= text/xml

But it would be usefull for me if it renders it like a tree, like when it does
when the document does not contains any xhtml elements.

I think this is just an implementation design choice of the browser-programmers.
Too bad they didnt do it my way! :)

Not sure if Mozilla can be configured to do different, you might want to
ask in a Mozilla group. But of course it will be difficult to define
what kind of documents should be "tree rendered" and which not, Mozilla
supports at least XHTML and MathML elements, special builds SVG or
XForms too.
