Might be, but I am not generting XML, but HTML...
Valid XHTML is also valid XML.
But valid XHTML doesn't work well in the praxis. (It offers nothing
what HTML can't do, but creates more problems)
And it still doesn't solve the problem, because a:
* div with 1px border
* table cell with 1px border
look exactly in the browser, but have much different (X)HTML source.
Testing 'visual equivalency' of two ([x]html|svg|whatever) documents is
unfeasible IMHO. We need a compromise, like deciding to use a div or a
table to produce some visual effect.
This is required anyway, because while it's true that there are a dozen
ways to generate the same page, they will differ wildly on some
relevant aspects (e.g. browser compatibility, table- or css- based
layout, etc.), so you have to make a decision at some point and choose
one.
Well, yes I did. :) The problem arose when I switched from "one table cell
per node" to "3x3 table cells per node", and again when I switched theway
CSS classes were used and again when I changed them again etc. Each time
the source changed, but the basic output remained the same - and yet I
had to adapt dozends of test.
Ehm... did I say "make a choice" ? ;-)
That was the original problem, and so far I haven't found a way to really
avoid it. But the discussion has been interesting :)
It's been interesting for me too.
Thanks. :-)
best wishes,
Tels
