What is XHTML?</a></h1> + +<p>XHTML is a family of current and future document types and modules that +reproduce, subset, and extend HTML 4.0 <a href="#ref-html4">[HTML]</a>. XHTML family document types are <abbr title="Extensible Markup Language">XML</abbr> based, +and ultimately are designed to work in conjunction with XML-based user agents. +The details of this family and its evolution are +discussed in more detail in the section on <a href="#future">Future +Directions</a>. </p> + +<p>XHTML 1.0 (this specification) is the first document type in the XHTML +family. It is a reformulation of the three HTML 4.0 document types as +applications of XML 1.0 <a href="#ref-xml"> [XML]</a>. It is intended +to be used as a language for content that is both XML-conforming and, if some +simple <a href="#guidelines">guidelines</a> are followed, +operates in HTML 4.0 conforming user agents. Developers who migrate +their content to XHTML 1.0 will realize the following benefits:</p> + +<ul> +<li>XHTML documents are XML conforming. As such, they are readily viewed, +edited, and validated with standard XML tools.</li> +<li>XHTML documents can be written to +to operate as well or better than they did before in existing +HTML 4.0-conforming user agents as well as in new, XHTML 1.0 conforming user +agents.</li> +<li>XHTML documents can utilize applications (e.g. scripts and applets) that rely +upon either the HTML Document Object Model or the XML Document Object Model <a href="#ref-dom">[DOM]</a>.</li> +<li>As the XHTML family evolves, documents conforming to XHTML 1.0 will be more +likely to interoperate within and among various XHTML environments.</li> +</ul> + +<p>The XHTML family is the next step in the evolution of the Internet. By +migrating to XHTML today, content developers can enter the XML world with all +of its attendant benefits, while still remaining confident in their +content's backward and future compatibility.</p> + +<h2><a name="html4" id="html4">1.1 What is HTML 4.0?</a></h2> + +<p>HTML 4.0 <a href="#ref-html4">[HTML]</a> is an <abbr title="Standard Generalized Markup Language">SGML</abbr> (Standard +Generalized Markup Language) application conforming to +International Standard <abbr title="Organization for International Standardization">ISO</abbr> 8879, and is widely regarded as the +standard publishing language of the World Wide Web.</p> + +<p>SGML is a language for describing markup languages, +particularly those used in electronic document exchange, document +management, and document publishing. HTML is an example of a +language defined in SGML.</p> + +<p>SGML has been around since the middle 1980's and has remained +quite stable. Much of this stability stems from the fact that the +language is both feature-rich and flexible. This flexibility, +however, comes at a price, and that price is a level of +complexity that has inhibited its adoption in a diversity of +environments, including the World Wide Web.</p> + +<p>HTML, as originally conceived, was to be a language for the +exchange of scientific and other technical documents, suitable +for use by non-document specialists. HTML addressed the problem +of SGML complexity by specifying a small set of structural and +semantic tags suitable for authoring relatively simple documents. +In addition to simplifying the document structure, HTML added +support for hypertext. Multimedia capabilities were added +later.</p> + +<p>In a remarkably short space of time, HTML became wildly +popular and rapidly outgrew its original purpose. Since HTML's +inception, there has been rapid invention of new elements for use +within HTML (as a standard) and for adapting HTML to vertical, +highly specialized, markets. This plethora of new elements has +led to compatibility problems for documents across different +platforms.</p> + +<p>As the heterogeneity of both software and platforms rapidly +proliferate, it is clear that the suitability of 'classic' HTML +4.0 for use on these platforms is somewhat limited.</p> + +<h2><a name="xml" id="xml">1.2 What is XML?</a></h2> + +<p>XML<sup>™</sup> is the shorthand for Extensible Markup +Language, and is an acronym of Extensible Markup Language <a href="#ref-xml">[XML]</a>.</p> + +<p>XML was conceived as a means of regaining the power and +flexibility of SGML without most of its complexity. Although a +restricted form of SGML, XML nonetheless preserves most of SGML's +power and richness, and yet still retains all of SGML's commonly +used features.</p> + +<p>While retaining these beneficial features, XML removes many of +the more complex features of SGML that make the authoring and +design of suitable software both difficult and costly.</p> + +<h2><a name="why" id="why">1.3 Why the need for XHTML?</a></h2> + +<p>The benefits of migrating to XHTML 1.0 are described above. Some of the +benefits of migrating to XHTML in general are:</p> + +<ul> +<li>Document developers and user agent designers are constantly +discovering new ways to express their ideas through new markup. In XML, it is +relatively easy to introduce new elements or additional element +attributes. The XHTML family is designed to accommodate these extensions +through XHTML modules and techniques for developing new XHTML-conforming +modules (described in the forthcoming XHTML Modularization specification). +These modules will permit the combination of existing and +new feature sets when developing content and when designing new user +agents.</li> + +<li>Alternate ways of accessing the Internet are constantly being +introduced. Some estimates indicate that by the year 2002, 75% of +Internet document viewing will be carried out on these alternate +platforms. The XHTML family is designed with general user agent +interoperability in mind. Through a new user agent and document profiling +mechanism, servers, proxies, and user agents will be able to perform +best effort content transformation. Ultimately, it will be possible to +develop XHTML-conforming content that is usable by any XHTML-conforming +user agent.</li> + +</ul> +<!--OddPage--> +<h1><a name="defs" id="defs">2.

However, also note that when the XML declaration is not included +in a document, the document can only use the default character encodings UTF-8 +or UTF-16.</p> + +<h2>C.2 Empty Elements</h2> +<p>Include a space before the trailing <code>/</code> and <code> +></code> of empty elements, e.g. <code class="greenmono"> +<br /></code>, <code class="greenmono"> +<hr /></code> and <code class="greenmono"><img +src="karen.jpg" alt="Karen" /></code>. Also, use the +minimized tag syntax for empty elements, e.g. <code class="greenmono"><br /></code>, as the alternative syntax <code class="greenmono"><br></br></code> allowed by XML +gives uncertain results in many existing user agents.</p> + +<h2>C.3 Element Minimization and Empty Element Content</h2> +<p>Given an empty instance of an element whose content model is +not <code>EMPTY</code> (for example, an empty title or paragraph) +do not use the minimized form (e.g. use <code class="greenmono"> +<p> </p></code> and not <code class="greenmono"> +<p /></code>).</p> + +<h2>C.4 Embedded Style Sheets and Scripts</h2> +<p>Use external style sheets if your style sheet uses <code> +<</code> or <code>&</code> or <code>]]></code> or <code>--</code>. Use +external scripts if your script uses <code><</code> or <code> +&</code> or <code>]]></code> or <code>--</code>. Note that XML parsers +are permitted to silently remove the contents of comments. Therefore, the historical +practice of "hiding" scripts and style sheets within comments to make the +documents backward compatible is likely to not work as expected in XML-based +implementations.</p> + +<h2>C.5 Line Breaks within Attribute Values</h2> +<p>Avoid line breaks and multiple whitespace characters within +attribute values. These are handled inconsistently by user +agents.</p> + +<h2>C.6 Isindex</h2> +<p>Don't include more than one <code>isindex</code> element in +the document <code>head</code>. The <code>isindex</code> element +is deprecated in favor of the <code>input</code> element.</p> + +<h2>C.7 The <code>lang</code> and <code>xml:lang</code> Attributes</h2> +<p>Use both the <code>lang</code> and <code>xml:lang</code> +attributes when specifying the language of an element. The value +of the <code>xml:lang</code> attribute takes precedence.</p> + +<h2>C.8 Fragment Identifiers</h2> +<p>In XML, <abbr title="Uniform Resource Identifiers">URIs</abbr> [<a href="#ref-rfc2396">RFC2396</a>] that end with fragment identifiers of the form +<code>"#foo"</code> do not refer to elements with an attribute +<code>name="foo"</code>; rather, they refer to elements with an +attribute defined to be of type <code>ID</code>, e.g., the <code> +id</code> attribute in HTML 4.0. Many existing HTML clients don't +support the use of <code>ID</code>-type attributes in this way, +so identical values may be supplied for both of these attributes to ensure +maximum forward and backward compatibility (e.g., <code class="greenmono"><a id="foo" name="foo">...</a></code>).</p> + +<p>Further, since the set of +legal values for attributes of type <code>ID</code> is much smaller than +for those of type <code>CDATA</code>, the type of the <code>name</code> +attribute has been changed to <code>NMTOKEN</code>. This attribute is +constrained such that it can only have the same values as type +<code>ID</code>, or as the <code>Name</code> production in XML 1.0 Section +2.5, production 5. Unfortunately, this constraint cannot be expressed in the +XHTML 1.0 DTDs. Because of this change, care must be taken when +converting existing HTML documents. The values of these attributes +must be unique within the document, valid, and any references to these +fragment identifiers (both +internal and external) must be updated should the values be changed during +conversion.</p> +<p>Finally, note that XHTML 1.0 has deprecated the +<code>name</code> attribute of the <code>a</code>, <code>applet</code>, <code>frame</code>, <code>iframe</code>, <code>img</code>, and <code>map</code> +elements, and it will be +removed from XHTML in subsequent versions.</p> + +<h2>C.9 Character Encoding</h2> +<p>To specify a character encoding in the document, use both the +encoding attribute specification on the xml declaration (e.g. +<code class="greenmono"><?xml version="1.0" +encoding="EUC-JP"?></code>) and a meta http-equiv statement +(e.g. <code class="greenmono"><meta http-equiv="Content-type" +content='text/html; charset="EUC-JP"' /></code>). The +value of the encoding attribute of the xml processing instruction +takes precedence.</p> + +<h2>C.10 Boolean Attributes</h2> +<p>Some HTML user agents are unable to interpret boolean +attributes when these appear in their full (non-minimized) form, +as required by XML 1.0. Note this problem doesn't effect user +agents compliant with HTML 4.0. The following attributes are +involved: <code>compact</code>, <code>nowrap</code>, <code> +ismap</code>, <code>declare</code>, <code>noshade</code>, <code> +checked</code>, <code>disabled</code>, <code>readonly</code>, +<code>multiple</code>, <code>selected</code>, <code> +noresize</code>, <code>defer</code>.</p> + +<h2>C.11 Document Object Model and XHTML</h2> +<p> +The Document Object Model level 1 Recommendation [<a href="#ref-dom">DOM</a>] +defines document object model interfaces for XML and HTML 4.0. The HTML 4.0 +document object model specifies that HTML element and attribute names are +returned in upper-case. The XML document object model specifies that +element and attribute names are returned in the case they are specified. In +XHTML 1.0, elements and attributes are specified in lower-case. This apparent difference can be +addressed in two ways: +</p> +<ol> +<li>Applications that access XHTML documents served as Internet media type +<code>text/html</code> +via the <abbr title="Document Object Model">DOM</abbr> can use the HTML DOM, +and can rely upon element and attribute names being returned in +upper-case from those interfaces.</li> +<li>Applications that access XHTML documents served as Internet media types +<code>text/xml</code> or <code>application/xml</code> +can also use the XML DOM. Elements and attributes will be returned in lower-case. +Also, some XHTML elements may or may +not appear +in the object tree because they are optional in the content model +(e.g. the <code>tbody</code> element within +<code>table</code>). This occurs because in HTML 4.0 some elements were +permitted to be minimized such that their start and end tags are both omitted +(an SGML feature). +This is not possible in XML. Rather than require document authors to insert +extraneous elements, XHTML has made the elements optional. +Applications need to adapt to this +accordingly.</li> +</ol> + +<h2>C.12 Using Ampersands in Attribute Values</h2> +<p> +When an attribute value contains an ampersand, it must be expressed as a character +entity reference +(e.g. "<code>&amp;</code>"). For example, when the +<code>href</code> attribute +of the <code>a</code> element refers to a +CGI script that takes parameters, it must be expressed as +<code>http://my.site.dom/cgi-bin/myscript.pl?class=guest&amp;name=user</code> +rather than as +<code>http://my.site.dom/cgi-bin/myscript.pl?class=guest&name=user</code>. +</p> + +<h2>C.13 Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and XHTML</h2> + +<p>The Cascading Style Sheets level 2 Recommendation [<a href="#ref-css2">CSS2</a>] defines style +properties which are applied to the parse tree of the HTML or XML +document. Differences in parsing will produce different visual or +aural results, depending on the selectors used. The following hints +will reduce this effect for documents which are served without +modification as both media types:</p> + +<ol> +<li> +CSS style sheets for XHTML should use lower case element and +attribute names.</li> + + +<li>In tables, the tbody element will be inferred by the parser of an +HTML user agent, but not by the parser of an XML user agent.
