I was under the impression that you were 'supposed' to send XHTML 1.0
Strict down as "application/xhtml+xml" aswell as XHTML 1.1 and it was
only XHTML 1.0 Transitional that was 'allowed' to be sent as 'text/html'
because it has a backwards compatibility to HTML 4...
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/#summary
I am presuming that 'XHTML 1.0 Other' in the above table refers to XHTML
1.0 Strict and therfore 'SHOULD NOT' be sent as mime type 'text/html'...
Is this not the case? I am confused because many highly regarded authors
seem to use XHTML 1.0 Strict and send it as 'text/html'...
I know this is off topic, but it's something that has bugged me for
quite some time!...
Cheers,
Mark.
