    164164The only justification for using XHTML is embedded MathML or SVG, etc, but I don't think that applies to our pages. Often one could embed the extra content in an iframe in any case... --MichaelRoberts

     166There is no downside to serving compatible XHTML as text/html.
     167See http://h3h.net/2005/12/xhtml-harmful-to-feelings/

     169And remember also that Ian Hickson (the guy who started the scaremongering, and tried to kill XHTML with the article linked by Michael Roberts) is now developing HTML 5. Clearly biased - ignore him. The official W3C recommendation is a) use XHTML and b) serve it as text/html to browsers that don't yet fully support application/xhtml+xml
