Amazing that you don't use front-end javascript at all. Is there anything you wish HTML+CSS could do better?

Re XHTML - It looks like the website is being served with a text/html content type. Did you give up on your XHTML experiment? How did it go? Maybe it would help if browsers reported back errors to the server, like how "Content Security Policy" reporting works.

We never served as application/xhtml+xml. That has some nasty side effects in browsers, like no incremental rendering. But it’s always been legit to serve XHTML as text/html even if you lose the break-on-error functionality.
