HI Simon,

Currently, this is a shortcoming of Barracuda because the components 
currently don't support XHTML.  If you don't use Barracuda components, then 
this is much less of an issue, but Imagine you are using BTemplate or 
something like that, right?  I'm not sure how much of an effect that would 
have on XHTML, but certainly the other HTML specific components require 
analogs in XHTML.  Now, are you using the XHTML extensions for XMLC?  If 
you are not, then you will definitely have issues because the DOM stored 
won't be representative of XHTML.  As far as using the XMLC taskdef, I'm 
not sure what the flags to compile as XHTML are?  I know there are a few 
Barracuda users who have used the XHTML extensions.  Hopefully they can 
speak to this issue.  Otherwise, check out the XMLC docs for the 
appropriate flags to provide to XMLC to compile as XHTML and provide those 
to the taskdef.

We definitely need to provide XHTML support in Barracuda given the current 
push toward XHTML.  So, you can consider this a relatively high priority 
but, as yet, we have no one currently assigned to that particular task.  If 
you are adamant about using XHTML, then you should probably, for now, drop 
the Barracuda component model and stick to only using the event and forms 
models.  Then, just use straight XMLC XHTML document extensions until 
better support for XHTML components in Barracuda is provided.
