OwlManAtt.com EOLs IE Support
As of 2006-03-20 21:00, OwlManAtt.com has ended its support for the Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser.
This suddent EOL’ing of IE support comes as part of my move to true XHTML. The web consortium recommends the content-type of application/xhtml+xml for XML documents. Internet Explorer (IE7 included) does not properly support this content-type. All you will get is a download file screen for the XHTML.
Sorry kids, it’s been fun, but it’s time to get with the program. XHTML or bust.

I use Safari which is ACID2 compliant but at the top of this page I see lots of lines of ‘error on line XXX blah’ but the rest of the page displays fine.

What does ACID2 have to do with anything? Don’t cite the results of a test you don’t understand.

Sadly this breaks lynx, links2, and dillo support. Since it also breaks in IE I can’t access your site since where I’m at sucks. Ah well, I’ll visit on the weekends to read.

Hn. Well, elinks works. I did a quick search for application/xhtml+xml in Lynx, and found that, at the very least, the Debian people are fixing it:

It is most unfortunate that these browsers do not support xhtml+xml. Is there any way you can run portable firefox?
