Please excuse me if this is slightly off-topic (I'm not sure if I
understand the topic exactly), but a few months ago I used "tidy" to
convert my small web site to XHTML on the understanding (IIRC) that it
was XML that all recent browsers would render reasonably well (for
simple stuff like I have anyway).
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
The advantage I was after (but haven't used yet) was the ability to
use XML tools and library functions on it.
BTW, re XML in *.html files, it seems legit as long as it's XHTML
(or the W3C version of HTML after XHTML?).
