Serving XHTML with math: a recipe for Apache

The future version 5 of HTML will allow math in a Web page, but the current version 4 does not. You can use XHTML instead, but not all Web clients understand it.

The W3C web server is spending most of its time serving DTDs to various bits of XML processing software.
