Russ,
One of the topics you discuss is your stance on the XHTML vs HTML
debate. Your links support your stance -- I've read these before, and
find them interesting and insightful, however they are trying to
convince the reader of their point and I prefer a balanced argument. In
looking for articles on the other side of the argument, I quickly found
myself swamped in a mountain of words, some rational, some rabid. It
would take days to wade through.
Do you know of a place or article that is a good roundup of the
arguments, presented neutrally or balanced so the reader can assess
his/her position and decide accordingly?
Right now I'm serving HTML (text/html Content-type headers), but as a
coding practice we code as XHTML 1.0 Strict (for the cleanliness of the
code, not for the XML properties). For the sake of validation as a
coding tool, we need to put in the XHTML DOCTYPE, but I'd like to serve
the HTML DOCTYPE in order to match our Content-type headers. Perhaps
some automated scripty thing.
But that is neither here nor there. What I really want to do is weigh
what I regard as our shop's personal coding standards against a roundup
of these arguments to see where we stand.
Any pointers?
