If you load a file from the file system then the file suffix is used I think to determine the MIME type and that way the parser that is used. A ".html" file is parsed as text/html (meaning so far with the browser's tag soup parser, with Firefox 4 with the new html5 parser), a ".xhtml" or ".xml" file is parsed as XML with the XML parser. > So html5 is neither fish nor foul?

I am sure with Firefox or Mozilla you can use an .xml file with elements from XHTML, SVG and MathML just fine as long as you use namespaces. And Opera I think has no MathML support but can certainly render mixed namespace XHTML and SVG documents. -- Martin Honnen http://msmvps.com/blogs/martin_honnen/
