At the moment there are no advantages for the users. There are some
advantages for developers, especially when xhtml strict is used.
But there may be many advantages in future. Browsers may render the
documents much faster. As well documents are upwards compatible. I
suggest to set an example and use xhtml for the error documents.

Hi !

Attached are four error documents rendered with XHTML-patched templates
(also attached). I just validated them at validator.w3.org. Even though
there are no errors I would appreciate some comments...

If they are okay for you, I will prepare a patch for it...

regards,
erik

of course only the error-docs...the documentation really shouldn't be a
problem :-)

Ehm, what you are talking about? The error documents or the whole
documentation? I thought about the error documents only. It wouldn't
make much sense to convert the whole documentation, because the
documentation pages will be generated from xml-files in future. Then the
template(s) of the conversion process has to be changed to xhtml.

I would also prefer valid XHTML-Documents, but I don't want to convert all
the files if they won't be included.

Apache developers: I know there are more important issues for you but please
speak up if there are any decisions on this topic...
