Latest version of #HTML standard includes a warning that advises against using the #XML syntax (formerly known as #XHTML), stating that it's "essentially unmaintained"🧐 :

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/xhtml.html

Looks like a recent change, as there's no mention of this in the April 3 version of the spec:

Unless I'm misreading it, this seems like a big deal? E.g. XML syntax is mandatory in #EPUB 3 documents:

I am co-founding a new startup! #InputLab creates test data for thousands of formats from electronic invoices to retail orders, covering all input features – and we just got an 800k€ initial funding to start as a #CISPA spin-off in September.

We are #hiring, especially experts in constraint solving and test generation – and we are looking out for #collaboration partners and early #adopters from industry and public service. Check us out at https://inputlab.net! #startup #XML #softwaretesting

If you have an XRechnung/XInvoice (EU Standard), there is a free software viewer for that which just got it’s 1.0 release … :drgn_heart:

Read more on Dragotin’s Blog!

Also if you have #qt knowledge and know how to deal with #xml consider helping. (I’m not very fluent in C++ or QT, apologies)

You can find the source code on Codeberg.

For some reason there has been a lot of recent interest in a blog post I wrote about VB6 and XML 3 circa 2007.

I genuinely feel awful that somewhere in the world that kind of blog post is helpful in the year of our Lord 2024.
