Kurt Cagle on the HTML WG: "For those of us who have been pushing XHTML adoption in industry, this is going to be seen as a fairly major step backwards, as it has the potential to make browser developers decide that perhaps incorporating XHTML support isn't that big of an issue, and can be pushed off for a release or ten." Exactly. How about this? Stop bickering and adopt XHTML. That's all there is to it. An XML Web is an inevitability.
