I was reading up on the XHTML spec at w3.org and noticed something I haven’t done in years. For valid xhtml all inline script and style elements must be wrapped with CDATA. I don’t think I’ve done that since working with XML and XSLT in Cocoon v. 1. Not that this isn’t required for all XML files, it’s just been that long

Also on the subject of XHTML validity, this is an interesting article about not using a text/html content type for xhtml but rather application/xhtml+xml. Of course that content type will make the markup even more strict. As the author mentions, and I’m beginning to agree with, xhtml should be avoided in pages for public consumption.
