| 15 | It also says "should not" in black on red. |

| 18 | You've explained at greath lengths why you think it is acceptable to send |
| 19 | text/html as content-type, but not why a user agent that accepts |
| 20 | application/xhtml+xml and is sent application/xhtml+xml is not told the |
| 21 | content is application/xhtml+xml |
| 22 | It's a minor issue with browsers, but I guess we'll get bugs or a questions |
| 23 | about that regularly. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Anyway, you should stick to xhtml1, preferably strict, because libxml2 does |
| 26 | not support 1.1. |

| 29 | Old stuff, but still valid. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | If you stick to the XHTML 1.0 doctype, you'll notice magic stuff happening to |
| 32 | your transforms such as the name space being added to <html>, or xml:lang="pl" |
| 33 | automatically added if you only have lang="pl"... |
| 34 | |
| 35 | e.g. |
| 36 | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> |
| 37 | <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" |
| 38 | xmlns:exslt="http://exslt.org/common" |
| 39 | xmlns:func="http://exslt.org/functions" |
| 40 | xmlns:str="http://exslt.org/strings" |
| 41 | xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" |
| 42 | extension-element-prefixes="exslt func str" > |
| 43 | |
| 44 | <xsl:output encoding="UTF-8" |
| 45 | method="xml" |
| 46 | media-type="application/xhtml+xml" |
| 47 | indent="yes" |
| 48 | doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" |
| 49 | doctype-system= |
| 50 | "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"/> |
