Please read entirely before shouting :o) One day or another we will switch to XHTML. The main issue is with empty tags, they require a trailing slash. With the current WML (and there is no plan to change this soon, it would imply a deep rewriting of wml_p2_mp4h), if source files have these trailing slashes, one can request either HTML or XHTML output files. But if they have an HTML syntax, as with Debian templates, only HTML output is allowed because mp4h cannot parse empty tags, it will look for unexisting endtag.
WML include files (e.g. /usr/lib/wml/include/std/tags.wml) adopted this change one year ago, and I never got any bugreport on this. This change is absolutely safe if it is done with care (of course, broken changes are always possible). So if you agree, I (or you) may add those trailing slashes within empty tags whenever a template file is modified. And when all templates are updated, it would be quite easy to switch to XHTML when desired. <strong>And meanwhile it would change absolutely nothing on output.</strong> If you don't trust me, ask yourself why you did not notice that WML include files did already include those trailing slashes ;o) Regards Denis
