yes, it surely is. it's obvious that i miss the thing in its whole: it
can't be using <br /> or <br> the difference between html 4.01 and
xhtml 1.0: it would be a nonsense. i understand that the different
closing of some tags is a requirement for the 2 languages to be better
rendered on browsers, and this was what i was intereted into. i mean:
if browsers need me to use <br /> to be happy, it is no hassle to do
it. if i understand that xhtml 1.0 can give me some plus over html
4.01, i'm glad to use some different tags.
unfortunately, on the w3.org website i just found a 30 pages doc for
xthml 1.0, which tells almost nothing about the real language and says
quite a bit on how to make it html 4.01 compatible --at least, for
common browsers--. then i retouched my php to output different tags
and make validator happy about my new pages. that's it. full stop.

i haven't understood, indeed, what's the power of xhtml even if i
tried, but i've told myself that if to be xhtml compliant it's enough
to write plain html 4.01 + little differences, in the meanwhile i can
do it and i'll use the bigger power of xhtml when i'll need it --and
understand it--.

ok, i copy strong and clear.

i don't use it, but thanks for the advice.

i'm sorry, i wasn't clear enough. i meant: would you prefer to be html
4.01 strict compliant or valid xhtml 1.0?
i'm not going to show the icons and i'm not a lover of certifications,
but if i'm able to keep my website valid i'm happier --expecially the
css validator helps me when i do little mistakes--. that's it.
