Patrick,
To clarify the below statement:
It's really aimed at people who are newer to this stuff and who may be
confused/ignorant about doctypes and/or just using whatever doctype
Dreamweaver defaults to or whatever, after reading through both Thierry
and Russ's example links and thinking about everyone on this list who
may be using XHTML served as text/html simply because its "newer"
combined with my own learning over the years and my statement is based on:
Lowest common denominator - HTML
MimeType issues (IE and application-xml)
Both of these points can be dug into further and turned into another
HTML vs XHTML conversation....but lets not.
So to re-state my previous statement in its new publicized version:
If you're new to doctypes and want to play it safe, or are learning css
etc, stick with HTML 4.01 Strict while the work is completed on
(X)HTML5. Sure, you can use XHTML as it exists in any of its flavors if
you wish, but if you aren't aware of little issues involved....why?
Please, again I'm not trying to start another HTML vs. XHTML thread I swear.

Great information and clarification everyone.
If anyone hasn't taken an underlying message away from the
conversation so far, it is to use HTML 4.01 Strict for you web
documents when possible...
I wonder where you're getting that message from, to be honest...
