understood. I'd strongly recommend to switch to xhtml, then.
The reason for me to be so keen on xhtml is that I generate
my website (http://fresco.org) entirely from xml, the issue
tracker templates (http://issues.fresco.org) are part of that.
But since with all the embedded tal: namespace its neither
valid xml nor html, I'd like to move over to xhtml, because then
I can treat it as ordinary xml.

Thanks.
