ASP.NET and XHTML

PJ
How is it that Microsoft sits on the w3c, participates in XHTML
standardization and then completely misses the ball with asp.net?

Does Microsoft have any plans/announcements/concern whatsover with making
asp.net generate valid XHTML? It seems like these changes would be fairly
trivial for them, much easier than it would be for me to write a filter
and/or override the necessary classes.

A simple look at W3C's web site shows that XHTML 1.0 was standardized on Jan
26, 2000. Working versions were available long before that. HTML 4 (which is
also not supported by Asp.Net) was standardized on December 18, 1997 - way
ahead of the .Net framework was designed.

Don't use this as an argument, it won't stand.

I apologize...I'm just a bit frustrated at the lack of concern over this. Greater concern toward standards within the development community would only
make our lives easier in the long run.


Most of us are more interested in getting the job done than in whining

over standards compliance.

Also, some of us have a clue at the lead time involved in developing a
product like ASP.NET. My question "when was the XHTML standard finished" was really, "was the XHTML standard finished and stable to a useful degree early enough for Microsoft to provide adherence to this standard in the ASP.NET
1.0 timeframe?" I'm willing to bet that the answer is "no".

Bitch about it if XHTML support isn't in ASP.NET 2.0.

I've tested some of the new Nokia 6600 functionality. It ships with WAP2 and XHTML Support (it says). What it does is check the Doctype -- if it's not the XHTML Mobile Profile Doctype, but a XHTML1.0 Strict one, the media-handheld CSS is _ignored_. Only with the Nokia Doctype, the CSS is used. I find this really annoying as it goes against the whole idea of media-independent XHTML Strict along with stylesheets. On the good side, WML...

I read this in http://annevankesteren.nl/2004/12/xhtml-notes "A common misconception is that XHTML 1.1 is the latest version of the XHTML series.

Furthermore, XHTML 1.1 is not really the follow-up of XHTML 1.0" I thought that XHTML 1.1 was the follow-up to XHTML 1.0 and that XHTML 2.0 will someday be the...
