As michael said my main reason is strictness. It's much easier to
parse a document when an XML parser can read it. I like the idea of
closing tags etc.

Hi,
I'm thinking about using the html5 doctype for all html documents
since it's supported by all the popular browsers available today.
Two Quick questions...
Why do we need to send XHTML code to a web browser when standard
html code (with html 5 doctype) will do just fine?
Is there any advantage of using xhtml in the web browser over html
for normal web application development?

I've never had problems and my work is primarily
around IE6 / our
corporate standards. Hell, even without a script type
it still works
:)
Would this function work for sending html and
solve the utf8 problem?
function makeHTML($document) {
$buffer =
$document->saveHTML();
$output =
html_entity_decode($buffer,ENT_QUOTES,"UTF-8");
return $output;
}
I'll try it and see what it does.
this was the only workaround I received for the
moment, and I was a
bit afraid it would not process the full range of
utf-8; it appeared
on a quick check to work but I wanted to run it on our
entire database
and then ask the native geo folks to examine it for
correctness.
I find that IE7 (at least) is pretty reliable as long as I
use strict XHTML and
send a DOCTYPE header to that effect at the top - that
seems to trigger a
standard-compliant mode in IE7.
At least then I only have to worry about the JavaScript
incompatibilities, and
the table model, and the event model, and ....
