I recently put up a thread to discuss a particular issue that came up when I shared and early draft of the DNN UX Style Guide with the DNN Experience Team that raised a bit of controversy. The opinions among the Experience Team members were varied and so I felt it would be useful to open the issue up to anyone in the DNN community with an interest in the standards and expectations for markup rendered by DNN going forward.

The specific issue of concern can be summarized as follows: What XHTML Document Type Definition should be required for DNN-generated markup going forward?

Needing to pick a location for the post, I chose the Skins, Themes and Templates forum as the most appropriate, but I am "crossposting" here because I believe the issue may be of interest to other extension developers since some do render markup. If you fall into this category, I encourage you to read the post and possibly contribute to the conversation at DNN UX Style Guide Initiative – XHTML: How Strict Should We Go?
