Yes, there is no difference between an XHTML and an HTML doc inside a 
browser, as far as you serve it as "text/html" (this is the default for 
most web pages).

The advantage of XHTML is that it is an XML dialect, so it can do XSLT, 
XPath and all the other cool stuff the XML libraries do. And of course, 
Plone uses XHTML too.

I agree with Patrick to stick with HTML for the fedora.redhat.com site 
but do change the encoding to UTF-8.

We should probably do some testing in the near future to see if it's 
hard to do XHTML for the plone site.
