	After spending a couple of years running ~~true~~ XHTML pages on my site I'm convinced that it's a ~~useless proposition. There's hardly any advantage to using except for a niche group~~ of ~~math enthusiasts~~. ~~And even then, Internet Explorer has yet to support~~ the application/xhtml+xml MIME type~~, making any~~ implementation ~~targeted to the masses~~ pointless. I'd much rather advocate a MIME type that is ~~standardized than one that is lacking support~~.		My vote is for HTML 4.01 over XHTML 1.0 Strict. After spending a couple of years running XHTML 1.0 Strict pages on my site I'm convinced that it's a waste of time. The simple fact that the application/xhtml+xml MIME type isn't supported in Internet Explorer makes a mass implementation pointless. I'd much rather advocate a doctype that is uses a MIME type that is widely supported, i.e. HTML 4.01 over text/html.
