Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: XHTML versus HTML
Greetings all, I've been reading up on XHTML and playing with Norm various stylesheet sets, but I'm still a bit confused. Yes, it is entirely possible that confusion is just my normal psychic state, but I hold out the hope that--at least in the matter of XHTML--edification remains a possibility. With that in mind: I can see that the outputs are quite similar and that switching our output from HTML to XHTML would have little if any negative impact on the quality, browsability, or accessibility of our documents. Are any of you folks XHTML converts? If so, what do you see as the advantages of XHTML over HTML? Can you use namespaces the way you do in XML? Does the ability to use the XML DOM have any real meaning for a fairly vanilla documentation shop using DocBook? Are any of you folks dead set against XHTML? If so, what are the drawbacks. Metaphorically, is XHTML the Compact Disc of markup or the eight-track tape?
