Time to convert to XHTML 1.1

After the New York trip, I think it will be time to change the site over from XHTML(eXtensible Hypertext Markup Language) 1.0 Transitional to XHTML 1.1. The changes should be limited, mostly changing the javascript and form areas. The main area’s right now to break would be:

no language attributes allowed in XHTML 1.1

name attribute is only allowed in
tags, change all others to id attribute
Get rid of
tags wherever possible, make sure any remaining are inside block—level tags.
Wrap all
, and tags in block-level elements.

I’ll have to scope out Jacques Distler‘s entries at Musings to review the changes needed to MT(Movable Type)’s templates and comments to maintain validable pages. I think I will have to—just to make it more fun—follow the W3C(World Wide Web Consortium)’s recommendation to serve XHTML 1.1 as @application/xhtml+xml@ as well. Luckily Jaques has been there, done that and written up a nice How-To. This entry is really just a “note to self” of sorts, to remember the links and resources I may need during the conversion.
