Interesting indeed. He says: "HTML 4.01 contains everything that XHTML 1.0 contains, so there is little reason to use XHTML in the real world. It appears the main reason is simply "jumping on the bandwagon" of using the latest and (perceived) greatest thing."
The reason I started using it - and why this thread was started - is because of Google Maps - the API states that XHTML should be used in order to make "layout and behaviours much more predictable across browsers." See: http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/#XHTML_and_VML Anyone else have experience with using Cocoon and Google Maps? Google is often perceived as a powerful driver of technology change / uptake (AJAX?!) so it will be interesting to see if this has any effect... >>> Joerg Heinicke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2006/10/12 03:26:21 PM >>> David Legg <david.legg <at> searchevent.co.uk> writes: > This is slightly off topic but choosing between using XHTML and HTML > 4.01 strict is a real can of worms.
