I feel like I missed large parts of this conversation, what with a sick 2-year-old and cleaning up from having everyone here for Thanksgiving. Who knew it could take most of the weekend to get caught up on dishes? Are you proposing that all the documentation be moved to XHTML, or just these header files? The former is a sizeable undertaking from two fronts. One, we're talking about a lot of docs to convert. Two, we're talking about educating every contributer to submit stuff in XHTML, when they are used to writing HTML. I can see that this conversation has gone on for a while, and I'll try to find time to go back and read the whole thing if I have a chance later today.
