It appears that there are some ISP that do not have text/xml configured into their webservers. This means that users cannot create XML pages and expect them to be handled properly by different browsers. I know of at least one ISP that, after a user requested they add text/xml, replied they do not and will not support text/xml. Apparently the techsupport has misconceptions of what XML really is. I don't see the any big difficulties or dangers associated with this. What, if any, are the potential difficulties and dangers involved in changing the webserver configurations to support text/xml? Does anyone have experience with this situation? Any comments from some prominent figure that could be sent to such ISPs to change their policy? This worries me for several reasons. Being the purist I am I'd rather see HTML disappear and being replaced with XML. On a more practical note this does not bode well for XHTML. -- Heikki Toivonen
