This company would need to work on their coding standards enforcement and QA test and deployment procedures before they re-code that app, I don't think XHTML will save them :)Then there is the whole Web Applications trend. Again, HTML and XHTML are pretty much the same in functionality here, but if I'm using an application on the Web then I want to make sure it is well-formed and well-structured. I don't want a typo by a web developer (such as leaving off an end tag) to cause my credit card to be debited twice.
To ask the question the other way around, what are the real benefits of using HTML over XHTML? I'm interested to hear the reasons (and I'm sure they are valid).
My environment can't output XML.
Dean, can I ask you why hasn't the W3C depreciated HTML? Do they intend too? Why/Why not?
Should we also be asking the question: "Why has XHTML take-up been so sluggish".
