`xml:space` would make whitespace issues easier to handle and simplify [my current solution](https://git.sr.ht/~seirdy/seirdy.one/tree/master/item/scripts/xhtmlize-single-file.sh), but not everything supports XML namespaces; I want to keep this polygot HTML5 and XHTML5 markup for now.
Eventually I’ll offer certain enhancements to the XHTML version (add `index.xhtml` to the URLs or remove `text/html` form your `Accept` header but include `application/xhtml+xml`) and I’ve already made my Atom feeds a bit simpler, but there’s a lot to do before then.
I’ve added ActivityStreams, OStatus, and friends to my Atom feeds; maybe I could add them to my XHTML pages using namespaces, if RDFa doesn’t work out. First I wanna try my hand at writing an ontology for webrings so people can mark up their webrings with RDFa/microdata. That’ll make it easy to do things like check for broken webrings or build cool visualizations of overlapping rings.
I should also try my hand at XSLT for the Atom feeds to get a baseline browser preview.
