Sending XHTML as text/html Considered Harmful
======================================
The advantages of XHTML
-----------------------
When sent as application/xhtml+xml, XHTML has several advantages:
1. XHTML content will be able to be mixed-and-matched with content
from other well-known namespaces (in particular, MathML). This
is the main advantage for content authors.
2. Browsers will immediately catch well-formedness errors (though
other errors still won't be caught).
3. Tools interacting with XHTML documents are guaranteed a
well-formed document.
However, none of these apply when an XHTML document is sent as
text/html, and since authors feel their pages should be readable on
the most popular Web browser, which does not support
application/xhtml+xml, there is basically no point in using XHTML at
the moment.
Conclusion
----------
There are few advantages to using XHTML if you are sending the
content
as text/html, and many disadvantages.
