Serving XHTML pages as text/html is the cancer that is killing The Extensible Hypertext Markup Language.
So is the fact that the most widely used browser happens to not support it.

Supposedly there's a Gopher+ which allows `interactive queries' which could reputedly allow posting data. I have no idea if any clients support it, though.
Gopher is good because you get just right down to the actual content instead of having to deal with much of the web 2.0 eye candy faggotry that plagues the web these days. I'd hate to see the protocol vanish one day; there's cool shit out there if you look hard enough.
Unfortunately, there is distressingly little actual content on Gopher.
It's almost poetic, if you think about it though. Strip out all the shiny stuff and there's nothing left.

shitty content, but it is actual content: gopher://bbs.quickfox.net/

Floodgap is pretty much the capital of Gopherspace.

you really are that fucking stupid. http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#guidelines This appendix summarizes design guidelines for authors who wish their XHTML documents to render on existing HTML user agents.
that appendix doesn't say anything about XHTML. it's only about HTML and retarded faggots who try to parse XHTML as HTML. seriously, what kind of moron would try to parse a PNG as a GIF?

lower port numbers are better. that's why only root is allowed to bind to ports below a certain number.

I raged then read the last point.
>Extensibility: tie. A properly designed binary format can be just as "extensible" (read: backward- and forward-compatible, for the unenterprised people) as XML. A random example is the old DOC/XLS/PPT format that served Office from version 97 to 2003 and can still be saved by 2007 (yes, you can open them in 97 even if they use newer features)
