Description Gabriel Wicke 2013-09-09 22:56:43 UTC 
To make it easy to process our output using both XML and HTML tools, we should serialize our output to so-called 'polyglot markup'. This means that our output will be valid XML *and* HTML5 at the same time (effectively XHTML).

The spec for polyglot markup is at http://dev.w3.org/html5/html-xhtml-author-guide/. The relevant differences to our current HTML5 serialization should be:

* void elements are serialized with trailing / as in <br/>
* only a small set of named entities is used, other entities are converted to character entities (&nbsp; becomes &#xA0;)

We can add either add this functionality in Domino, or create our own XMLserializer implementation that walks an arbitrary DOM.

+1 ... HTML5's normalized parsing is great, but lots of programming environments only have an XML parser handy.
