Did you look at the source I pasted or the file I attached? It is XHTML!
Status: RESOLVED → UNCONFIRMED
Resolution: INVALID → ---

    
    

    
  
the type is text/html, please see the links I pasted:
"5.1. Internet Media Type

XHTML Documents which follow the guidelines set forth in Appendix C, "HTML
Compatibility Guidelines" may be labeled with the Internet Media Type
"text/html" [RFC2854], as they are compatible with most HTML browsers. Those
documents, and any other document conforming to this specification, may also be
labeled with the Internet Media Type "application/xhtml+xml" as defined in
[RFC3236]. "

With:
"C.3. Element Minimization and Empty Element Content

Given an empty instance of an element whose content model is not EMPTY (for
example, an empty title or paragraph) do not use the minimized form (e.g. use
<p> </p> and not <p />)."

Also note http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/NOTE-xhtml-media-types-20020801/#text-html

hm, your "Demonstration" attachment does not contain any <div/> elements?

    
    

    
  
Verified invalid.  The attached file is in violation of the XHTML specification.
