Well, it seems still using text/html mime.
Anyway, take a look on the test site, I posted few bug there. Basically
there are two bugs. One is simple -- tables have unquoted attribute values.
The other one is tricky -- multilevel lists and term-definition lists have
mismatched tags.

As far as wrap attribute of textarea problem goes, it never was standard on
first place; wrap='virtual' supported by IE only. Proper way is via CSS
white-space property. Maybe I am missing something but seems to me you are
using default wrapping behaviour.

Anyway, you did a great job! It's unbeliveable how fast you put together
quite solid xhtml generation. At this pace you'll fix all bugs by tomorrow!

I would still love to get your current code and start playing with it.
However if you are planning to release another beta with xhtml support some
time soon, I can wait.

Kewl.

I would love to help, but all I can do without seeing the code is play a
tester role.
