Accessing data on the Internet using current technology is slow. Pages are slow to render because they are being built by server processes. The processes building these pages are slowing down your server because your server is generating HTML rather than transmitting files. Since, on the client, the data in a page is indistinguishable from the page that contains it, additional requests are made to the server to manipulate the data.
Data binding is a new feature of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 4.0 (IE 4.0) that enables authors to create Web pages that
Creating Valid HTML Documents Means Cleaner Code and Easier Maintenance
I'll be the first one to let you in on a secret: building Web pages isn't hard. With the software that is available now, you can write your Web page and have it up and viewable in half an hour. And with these tools, why would you need to run an HTML validator on your HTML to find errors?

Thus far, you've read the HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 documentation and you understand their relationship. You have successfully converted a few documents to XHTML 1.0. So, how do you know that your documents are really XHTML 1.0 compliant?
The easiest way, as stated earlier, is to use "xmllint." It was distributed with later versions of libxml, which can be obtained from xmlsoft.org. Once properly installed, you can use xmllint to check your work. Your command line entry will look like this:
xmllint --valid --noout mydoc.html
If you receive error
