Re: XHTML

I disagree, XML seems like a workaround for things that are better done as

database->PHP->HTML

or if need be

database->PHP->XML

Server side scripting ala PHP and ASP is going to be far more important to
learn than XML because the data needs to be stored someplace, namely in a
DB. Additionally using a server side scripting interface allows you to
output HTML, XML, XHTML, WML or whatever format is necessary. So you can
deliver your content to the newest browser on the market, to mosaic, or to a
new web phone. XML is being pushed by M$ which is a strike against it in my
book.
