Wanting to support IE is the number one reason to use HTML rather than XHTML. IE has never handled XHTML; if you serve it with the right MIME type it can't display it and just downloads the file, and if you serve it as text/html it parses it as invalid HTML. Do we care enough about IE to warrant any action? I don't think anyone would complain if you did the work to switch the site over to HTML, but I don't see nearly enough value in it to do that work myself. - Josh _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
