Let me be the first to gather the kindling :-) The whole MIME debate started with Ian Hickson. Let me summarize his argument: If you author bad XHTML and serve it up as HTML, you won't know that you have invalid XHTML and you will blame XHTML when you find out. Sorry, this is not a valid argument. This is fear mongering. For more advocacy along the same line from Ian, have a read of this: http://www.hixie.ch/advocacy/xslt This article advocates the use of Python, Perl, JavaScript, C++ and a DOM parser to do transformations over XSLT. This clearly shows that Ian's knowledge on the subject is academic. Anyone familiar with the benefits of XSLT, will get a good laugh from this short article.
