Quite frankly, I don't give a damn about your discussions at work.

I'll look up the link sometime when I have the time. Right now I'm too
busy to do your work for you.

I did check out that site, quite a bit. I found nothing about them
recommending HTML over XHTML, or even suggesting that you don't use
XHTML. According to everything I read they are concurrently developing a
new XHTML specification as well as HTML 5.

I am willing to accept evidence to the contrary, but without evidence, I
can't accept that the W3C does not recommend XHTML.

I was really hoping you had that link - it would have helped me in
certain discussions I have been having at work.

A bit touchy, aren't we?

I was trying to point out that I wasn't challenging you. Instead I was
hoping you were right, and had ready information to back up your claim.
It appears that you don't.

I have been researching the XHTML vs HTMML debate for quite some time,
and I have never found a definitive statement by an organization like
W3C such as you claim they made.

Your response, honestly, leaves me questioning your credibility on this
claim. And it gives me a better understanding of how you seem to have
developed such a following as nully & crowd. I've tried to keep our
discussions reasonably friendly - apparently that doesn't work both ways.

No, I'm just getting tired of the argument. You can google as well as I
can, and you can find the problems with using XHTML and browsers such as
IE as well as I can.

Go ahead and use XHTML if you want. You'll lose customers because their
browsers don't display it correctly, but who cares? I sure don't.

I have done this. I have seen plenty of discussion on the matter. I have
not seen a statement by the W3C such as you claimed they made. I am
specifically addressing that claim.

No, you continue to argue with the answers. And I'm not engaging any
longer.
