I have no problems with the former since I use it all the time, but the latter is what is found on most sites, and that's "no good" and should not be recommended to anyone. The basics of what I have to say on the matter can be found here... <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_1_06_03.html> ...and that page is duplicated in several versions - valid and not - working and not - just to clarify what that is all about. The first, of course ;-) There's no such thing as 'XHTML 1.1 Strict', BTW. It is just 'XHTML 1.1', and it doesn't work in IE/win since that browser doesn't understand what xhtml is all about, and 'XHTML 1.1' shall not be served as 'html'. Sorry, I went back over my text and changed the 1.0 to 1.1 without taking the strict out :-$ The problem with IE is that the XHTML MIME Type is "application/xhtml+xml" which no Microsoft products support properly. Until this is fixed I don't think we can move beyond XHTML 1.0.  :-) pony below I guess it's just a matter of trying to keep up the good ideals and getting more designers on board with XHTML served as XHTML & HTML. I'm actually surprised how many tutorials I see that use HTML 4.01 in computer magazines in 2006. If we can't convince these people to code to XHTML 1.0 Transitional standards we have real problems.
