in thread Perl 6 release dates - two years later

The XHTML spec says they have to be closed (or use an empty tag, like <td />, but I generally only use that for tags like <hr /> that don't have any data associated with them). Properly balanced tags make things much easier to parse.

    Note the Content-Type. It says text/html, not text/xhtml.

      XHTML doesn't have a seperate MIME type.
