About deevans.net -*- Mode: text; -*- ================= Organization ------------ deevans.net and intelligentinquiry.org are my home computer network. This web site is organized by directories and some files included in the root directory. Each directory has a HTML, or XHTML, index of the files contained within it, and where needed gives a description of files in the directory. dee.rdf is a RSS 1.0, W3 RDF compliant, News Feed which some web browsers now have the capability of viewing natively. The deevans.net news feed gives information about this website, an informal blog, and general information about the Evans family. Under iies/ you will find archives from, and descriptions of, meetings of the Intelligent Inquiry Educational Society (now defunct). intelligentinquiry.com is no longer a part of this site. Document Format and Technical Notes ----------------------------------- This website uses ISO HTML (sometimes HTML 4.01), XML, and text documents. Some documents are XHTML, a document type within XML, which is more flexible. HTML is the W3 and ISO's recommendation of the last century; XHTML is the recommendation for this century (though technically issued last century). I am interested in the adoption of XHTML, as I think it solves problems within HTML. However, sending XHTML as text/html compounds the problems that XHTML is intended to resolve, so you will not find this done here. See for a fuller explanation. If you encounter one of these files, please use a user agent that supports the relevant XML content to be able to view the document, or email me to request an alternative format. Though the XHTML Media Types recommendation implies that XHTML should not be sent with the text/html content-type, the XHTML 1.0 recommendation's "informative" Appendix C suggested it for backwards compatibility, if certain techniques were followed, relying on web browser error correction. The implication is that server negotation be done, allowing the download of a XHTML 1.0 document, by HTML user agents, to be interpreted as HTML with error correction (since XHTML is not actually compatible with HTML), while still making XHTML available to XHTML user agents as XHTML.
