Perhaps support for XHTML-compliance in Zope should be optional. I wrote a few pages in XHTML some time ago, had no problems with Netscape 4.xx, but was later informed of a few problems by some users. Some still abundant browser versions were particularly not grokking (and thus showing the user) the processing instruction <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> For generally accessible pages, I'm therefore still using HTML 4.0. This is mentioned on http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/: Be aware that processing instructions are rendered on some user agents. However, also note that when the XML declaration is not included in a document, the document can only use the default character encodings UTF-8 or UTF-16. Anyway, tags like <img /> are considered valid HTML 4.0 by the W3C validator, so they would not cause validation "noise" for those still using HTML 4.0. -- jmce: +351 919838775 ~ http://artenumerica.com/ ~ http://artenumerica.org/
