I believe there is a big difference between XHTML 1.0 and 1.1 when dealing with IE compatibility. Mac OS Forge uses a lot of XHTML 1.0 for Trac templates (Genshi), which is similar to your use of it for server side processing. My main point was that the MacPorts website was simple enough to be HTML4 and would be the least effort. XHTML 1.0 would be fine, especially if we want to localize it or use templates.

Basically, I'm suggesting using anything but XHTML 1.1.


As the author of a fair bit of the website code, I can safely say (even though it might inspire some people around here to lynch me) that I had no real compelling reason to use xhtml 1.1, other than not exactly remembering the exact dtd line and copy&paste'ing it from another doc I was editing at the moment. Other than that, I could hardly say there's anything on that site that strictly requires 1.1, so I'm confident "downgrading" to xhtml 1.0 wont be a problem at all if it'll clear out some of these headaches.

        My two cents, in turn...
