While, I thought this statement is correct and expected the Internet media-type should be something else (application/xhtml+xml), but as per w3c, it is not wrong to serve XHTML as text/html (RFC 3236) Also, have a look at the example given at: http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/Web-Quality Validating the present output using the validator will give a green signal too. >Also XHTML is not necessary here, so I would just use an HTML 4.01 >strict doctype (and remove the xmlns). Agree to this. Although at the moment it does not cause any harm, it is a good to be plain HTML when it is a http server. Éric - HTML5 is not a standard yet and when it becomes one (or much earlier, when it becomes a de-facto standard), then html producing stdlib modules should move to it. I don't think we should move faster than browsers or html client applications. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11567> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
