I guess... :-) ...the short answer is that those who wrote the existing HTML/XHTML standards says so... <http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/NOTE-xhtml-media-types-20020430/#summary> ...and standards wouldn't mean much if we don't follow them - at least when we can. Misuse of standards by us also makes it less likely that we can trust browsers to comply with those same standards, and we'll soon be back to the old days with "anything goes" and "tag soup" again. I personally think there's more than enough of that stuff around already, and I prefer a more standardized and reliable base for web documents. A bit more in details on the subject here... <http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/2004/xhtml-faq#mime11> ...and here... <http://www.webstandards.org/learn/articles/askw3c/sep2003/> regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
