No.  HTML pages are HTML pages.  XHTML pages are more like XML. But
ultimately, the only thing that is XML is XML.

You really aren't lsitening to me.  My site is "non std compliant"
because I made it that way.  There's absolutely no sense in taking the
extra time and expense to fill a gap that doesn't exist.  And that is
exactly the mentality behind the zealot mindset.  They cower at the
foot of "compliance" without ever even asking themselves, is there any
need for such extra time, work and expense?

I need to drive a nail.  But we want to hold meetings on whether I
should use the roofing hammer that I already have on hand, or wait
until a suitable sledge hammer can be developed.

You code to meet the need of the user, not to meet the standards of
the tool you just WANT to use.  I don't go out and buy tools and then
try to figure out what I can build.  I decide on what I want to build
and I use ANY tool that lets me do it, and the one I'll use is the one
that does the job in the quickest and most efficient manner.

For a specific example that you've cited: my site (so you think
anyway) would not be easily scalable in size.  But it was known from
the beginning that it will never grow beyond it's current size.  Not
ever.  Not under any circumstance.  The whole thing was written, start
to finish, in one evening, to meet the needs of one specific group of
people.  And that ain't FireFox users.

Government works the way you think.  And we see the results of that
group-think.
