For instance, you can use MathML (<A href="http://www.w3.org/Math/">http://www.w3.org/Math/</A>) to enter mathematics in a pretty good way. Check out for instance the examples at <A href="http://www.w3.org/Math/testsuite/">http://www.w3.org/Math/testsuite/</A>, with a good browser, e.g. Firefox. Being a mathematician, that's one thing for me in favor of XHTML. I'm sure other people can list other uses of XML. </DIV><DIV>I have not messed around with Javascript, so I can't comment on that. </DIV><DIV><BR><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Andreas</FONT></DIV> <BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR><DIV>Haris</DIV></BODY></HTML>
