Back from two weeks Italy, added photo's and yes, misused the lovely wide-angle lens too much. Sorry, it is too much fun and I am still learning ;-).

Virtual X(I)

by Sammy A few days ago I read XHTML, what is the point?. Later that day, someone pointed me to Sending XHTML as text/html considered harmful by Ian Hickson. Especially the last article goes in great detail about why you shouldn't send xhtml pages with mime type text/html.

Usually I do not respond to such articles, but this one is very well-written and a lot of points Ian makes are absolutely valid. I still do not listen to this expert and serve my XHTMl pages as text/html, so therefore I feel the need to explain the reasoning behind this situation further in this entry.

In fact the problem is (again) the never updated version of internet explorer, otherwise everybody could happily send application/xhtml+xml for all xhtml pages.

Later that day: Because I had a laptop with ms windows available this weekend I could test the site in iexplore.exe and decided to make the jump now and changed the site to XHTML 1.1 and UTF-8 anyway. It is served properly to browsers that support application/xhtml+xml, others are on their own...

So (with the proper fonts installed), you can enjoy: نا قادر على أكل الزجاج و هذا لا يؤلمني

Now, almost ten years later, this band is very popular and their music has not changed much (genre-members Nightwish, Tristania and After Forever for example, deliver much better, more sophisticated albums). Visiting the Within Temptation concert at Parkpop was however again a nice experience. A crowd of 200.000, consisting of a very wide variety of people, complete families, house- and rapfans, old blues-lovers, ultra-hip designers, etc. etc.) were enjoying the still heavy sound of Within Temptation. Can the world change or what??
