If you are doing a batch process and you plan to store the output before serving it, you would want to store it in a parsable form that can be served as is or further processed by other XML technologies. Can I assume that you agree that XHTML 1.0 was designed to be backwards compatible to HTML 4 if written to compatibility guidelines?
