Package: s5
Version: 1.1.dfsg.2-5
Severity: normal

I have a tool that generates XML that I'm using to create the main file
of my s5 presentation.  As a consequence, I'd like to serve my document
as XHTML.  To me, this seems reasonable, especially since the doctype is
XHTML 1.0 Strict.

However, when I do this (which you can test by renaming the file as
.xhtml instead of .html), it fails to work due to a DOM Exception 12.
It's my understanding that this is due to the use of innerHTML, which is
simply not allowed in XHTML.  I feel that if you're going to require
that the document be in XHTML, then it should be valid to serve it as
XHTML and expect it to work.

Serving the document as HTML is problematic for me because my XML
generator outputs script tags as <script src="foo" />, not
<script src="foo"></script>, and this causes Chrome and Iceweasel to
misparse the document.
