no. I just read that the space should be there, that's all. There are
too many browsers today to test them all.

it is a suggestion how to produce an XHTML that is readable by current
browsers.

They actually don't. I run into something very serious. My javascript
stopped working. I spent a day by debugging it until I found out that
Enhydra sends the stream as "text/xml" and in such case "document.forms"
is undefined - basically the whole DOM is not working for javascript.

I tried to modify the stream type to "text/xhtml" but then my Galeon
tried to save it as a binary data. The only way when it worked like it
should (including the javascript) was when I hacked it to type
"text/html".

So my question: is is possible to get the javascript working in the
"text/xml" mode or is it better to tell XMLC to generate the pages as
"text/html"? Is there any switch for this?
