Furthermore, XHTML requires stricter mark-up rules:

- Tag and attribute names to be in lower case
- Attribute values must be enclosed in double quotes (")

- Tags must always be closed, even for elements that don't require =
closing
tags in HTML. e.g., for IMG, use: '', where the =
closing "
/>" is equivalent to ">" but is more backwards-compatible.

- Attributes must always have values. Some HTML attributes do not =
(e.g.,
'', so must be written as something like
'defer=3D"defer"'


There are other rules. If this seems like too much hard work, consider
switching your DTD to HTML strict or transitional.
