[Wait -- you mean that xhtml is the following standard to html4, but
then the even newer html5 dumps all that work and re-starts from html4
with artificial compatibility to xhmlt??  What kind of twisted
standard does that make??]

In any case, that sounds like it will be desirable to move it back to
`html' in the not-so-far future, and then renaming the new collection
will make even less sense.  Sounds like I should go back to `html'
then.
