My employment is an agreement between me and my employer.
That is very true. However, employment laws are written in the spirit of ensuring that that contract is followed by the employer. An employer will almost always have more leverage than the employee and is more able to bend the contract.
I agree a government should not set the terms of the contract. A government gives such a contract the force of law.
I had just read the FAQ. According to the FAQ XHTML is in XML format. I just happen to really dislike working with XML. That might make me a troll (or at least off-topic), but so be it.
XML is big, unweildy, and complete. Some people like the completness, but it only leads to confusion, and doubly so when any namespaces are involved.
XML was designed to be easily read by eye, but it is often less readable than other text formats.
XML was designed to find the holy grail of 'eliminating version incompatability' and allowing different applications to share common data in the glorified XML format.
You don't need XML to share data between applications
Different companies (or even groupos) work just as hard to create a common XML grammer as they would to make any other grammer for data transmission
HTML is a presentation language and well, websites do present. It doesn't take a programming genious to separate the presentation from the content if that is desired.
Unreadability : XML is
often touted as a 'human readable' data format.
Did you ever take a peek at it recently? Its completely cluttered and unreadable.
Use of special editors. Writing out XHTML by hand is going to be a pain, even for very simple content. Writers will be forced to use crazy tools just to say 'hello world'.
Yes, this will allow web designers to handle special cases that rarely come up.
The early versions of Apache 2 really scared a lot of people away. It scared me away. Switched to Apache 1 and things started working again. Now that doesn't excuse my poor skill in the sysadmin realm, but I would doubt I am the only one who had headaches with 2.
The problem doesn't have easy answers, but easy access to firearms has its own problems.
schitzophrenics who are taking their meds.
How about crimes of passion?
Do we get to have armed road rage now?
Teens feel immortal and angry; will we have more columbines if they have easier access?
Anyway, there is no right answer. The second amendment was to keep the government from getting to uppity (wether it is the federal govt or any in general is still a matter of debate). Neither the state militias nor an armed population is any challange for the power of the federal government. The voting populace is much more of a threat.

Why should you not encourage XHTML?

I think the lines end when the language is no longer being advanced, not used.
Bash is obviously used quite a bit.
