[MURATA Makoto]
In my understanding, future XHTML will NOT work on old browsers and it
will contain vocabularies other than XHTML (e.g., MathML, RDF, SMIL,
something I would invent tomorrow).
But then why all the concern with backwards-compatible syntax like <br />
and avoiding the XML declaration? Labeling it text/xml won't be
backwards-compatible, so there's no point in contorting the syntax. It
just seems to me that if you pick a design restriction (backwards
compatible or not), then the decision about the media type follows
naturally, with little room for debate.
