still too early for XHTML :-((: msg#00022

Subject: still too early for XHTML :-((

Hi,

as you may recall from my occassional posts here, I have been trying to
use XHTML with Enhydra for several months already. I patched various
things in Enhydra/XMLC (some fixes, some hacks) in order to get it
working and was almost happy - until I decided to try also non-Gecko
browsers. After some hours of debugging IE6 problems I managed to
isolate a possible bug in SCRIPT tag handling:

For me it seems as a clear evidence that I wasted my time on the XHTML
for nothing. If the latest browser with 95% market share is unable to
load javascript file then XHTML is completely unusable.

I don't think XMLC/Enhydra would be modified in the way it outputs the
SCRIPT tag just to fix this buggy behaviour of IE. Or am I wrong and
such patch would be accepted in the mainline?

Anyway, I'll most probably convert my XHTML files to HTML, change the
XMLC parser back to the default one and be happy again.

Petr
