1. Introducing XHTML
2. Head information -
   • head - The head is treated the same as in html. The attribute xml:lang="en" can be used with almost any tag. A future attribute could be "provide="http://www.dublincore.org" That address is for Dublin Core Metadata Initiative who is working on the final spec for the profile attribute.
   • title - each head must contain the title tags. The title will be shown on the recieving browsers.
   • meta - Meta data is defined inside the head tags using the <meta/> tag. See the "meta.html" file to see code examples. Meta-functions can be built with the http-equiv attribute. See an example of a expires and refresh function in the code. It is not supported by mobile browsers and did not work in example.
   • cache - Browser that support the meta element's http-equiv attribute can be instructed to ignore the cache document and retreive a fresh copy. see also a way to avoid search engines.
   • format - schemes are not supported and are intended for future developement.
   • scripts - The XHTML Basic spec does not supports scripts because mobile devices are generally unable to process script code. full XHTML DTD Strict can process scripts for use in a nonmobile enviorement. see script for example.
   • stylesheets - External documents can be made available to the XHTML with the link tag. more often is used to add a CSS stylesheet to a document. and with attributes dictate how the page will look either on a handheld or desktop.
   • linking - A link element (tag) can be used to describe the relationship of another resource document to a XHTML document by assigning one of the keywords listed in the table below to it's rel attribute. Links are in the head portion.

   • base address - The XHTML base element can be included in the head section and which will be the default address of any questions that may arise. see car for an example of the base tag/element.
