I'd like to point out that using XHTML was a somewhat divergent path

On the other hand: XHTML5.

Doesn't exist in any practical sense.

Interested in this transition, I asked wms how to go about instigating the change. He directed me to ask you for your thoughts on bringing the
site into HTML 5. So, ticket-filers, hecklers, committers, package
maintainers, admins, and others: How do you feel about having the site
change forward to HTML 5?

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.

And also getting the site off of XHTML ;-) No one said you had to do the work, and those of us that are interested could tend to it :-P It seems like a fairly simple change since it is PHP-driven.
