I searched the XHTML and other specifications first, but could not
find an answer for this little problem:
I would like to send HTML, or XHTML, and some special purpose data
together. The special data is in a specially designed XML vocabulary
that does not conflict with XHTML.
An example is:
<html>
<body>
Normal text, visible for users <br />
with markup and all.
<!-- here comes the "special" data -->
<SpecialXML>
<data>
<half>something</half>
<go>
<iin>a</iin>
<iin>b</iin>
</go>
</data>
</SpecialXML>
</body>
</html>
I would like to "hide" the "SpecialXML" stuff. As it is now, the
browser does display the text contents: "something" and "a" and "b".
Is there some trick to wrap the "SpecialXML" stuff inside a div or
something that hides it?
Putting all SpecialXML stuff inside a comment ( <!-- .. --> ) does
hide it, but the XML parser I am using on the user side throws all
comments away. So I am looking at some normal XHTML element that
prevents the display of its text contents. Does it exist? Maybe some
CSS trick can do it?

display: none;
will turn off the display of the content, but the xml would still be
parsed by the browser, I think. So it might not be terribly robust.

You could put this in the HEAD section or you could apply 'display:
none' CSS property to the element.

1. Define your own mnamespace for the SpecialXML.
2. Use CSS to hide it, as suggested by others.
3. Your document is XML, not HTML. So give it an XML Content-Type,
not text/html. That means you'll need to style the HTML elements
with CSS rather than rely on browser defaults, too.

Thanks to the people who replied, I have 2 solutions now. One is CSS
display: none, the other is CSS visibility: hidden. The "put in the
HEAD" solution did not work. Thank you all!
XHTML with hidden data in the body: <html>
<body>
Normal text, visible for users <br />
with markup and all.
<!-- here comes the hidden data -->
<SpecialXML style="visibility: hidden">
<data>
<half>something</half>
<go>
<iin>a</iin>
<iin>b</iin>
</go>
</data>
</SpecialXML>
</body>
</html>

'visibility: hidden' still affects the layout

If you just want to hide I suggest you use XML (also HTML) comments
(<!-- <data>I am XML data</data> -->)
This way it won't show up in any existing browser and no search engine
would index it.
