> "Are there any problems with serving pages as application/xhtml+xml?" That was more relevant when XHTML was still vying to be the future of markup on the web. The issue was that the XHTML content type mandated a strict XML parser that hard failed if your markup wasn't well-formed, whereas HTML is more lenient. With XHTML, it was easy for a single stray closing tag to kill your entire site. This was an especially common concern if you allowed markup in, say, comments. |
