You keep repeating over and over that the big advantage to XHTML is "not having to run headless browsers", which I don't understand. I use Selenium all the time for my job, it's not great but it's... not horrible? It's fine, it's not some massive inconvenience, and it's definitely not worth getting rid of HTML5 to abandon it, when, as others have pointed out and you keep ignoring, the practical effect would be that the web would be useless for actual humans without plug-ins. I guess I don't get your huge bone to pick with Selenium.

It's fine, it's not some massive inconvenience, Try running hundreds of tests at the same time, to actually get fast results when running a full test suite. Right now running a small testsuite takes here over 2 hours, 99% of the time is spent in the browser processes. And that’s not nearly close to 100% test coverage. > not worth getting rid of HTML5 to abandon it You don’t have to – XHTML isn’t the only strict spec out there, AMP is another, React also enforces strict syntax in JSX templates. AMP fails to render anything if there’s even a single mistake, React fails at build time.
