Re: will processors support XHTML?

This will cause the page to not display (even though the xhtml is there) 
-- they need end elements.
...
which will cause the rest of the page below the textarea to be placed 
inside of it.

If the xhtml is being rendered by a system that understands xhtml, then
this won't happen of course. (mozilla, netscape, opera, ...)
I think the practice of sending xhtml to an html browser and relying
on its lack of error reporting to not generate errors with xml syntax
such as <br /> is dubious at best.
If you send xhtml (as text/xml not as text/html) to Internet Explorer
it will render it so long as you put an xml-stylesheet pi at the top to
tell it how to render it (an identity transform, rendering to html will
do).

I can't answer your actual question as I'm not a processor developer:-)

I was wondering if the processor developers have any plans to support 
xsl:output/@method="xhtml" for xsl version 1.0? 

so long as it was x:xhtml for the processors extension namespace rather
than xhtml, this would be legal. maybe something for exslt???
