Dear Mark: why are you bothering with XHTML 2.0? No one is going to deploy this beast. The architecture astronauts have done their work, abstracting it to the point of absurdity. So what? As long as it carries “XHTML” in its name, people are going to think 2.0 is where HTML is headed, no matter how many times the W3C says otherwise. For 2.0 to survive, it has to be rethought, renamed, or retired. But please. Standards aren’t bullshit. And HTML 4 is a lovely markup language. You’ll love it. You don’t even have to close your tags! Sometimes!
