Dave is linking to me, but that didn't show up in the stats. Maybe that is fixed with this update. (It's not clean XHTML 2, but I have to have my stats!)

OK, if Mark is going back to HTML 4, then I'm going forward to XHTML 2.0. I don't care it means that about 10 to 15 percent of my visitors will see garbage. Maybe I'll add a fallback trick later.

You see, XHTML 2.0 is not the format for the next generation browsers. It has nothing to do with browsers. XHTML is an XML Hypertext Markup Language. Browsers can do much more than displaying (X)HTML, and their behaviour is defined using CSS, and HTC or XBL. The browser needs to recognize links so they can be bookmarked, and recognize a title for the titlebar of the window. It is very inconvenient that these functions are tied to HTML elements, and a hiatus in the W3C specs.

XHTML, and specifically version 2.0, is a perfect dataformat for weblogs. And ever since I made my first XHTML 2.0 page, its clean markup was begging to be used on the whole site. So I made the switch. I changed the templates to let Radio spit out nice XHTML 2.0 documents for me, and the default file on this server is now index.xml. Things will probably get buggy for some weeks. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out.
