14.1.1 Accommodating HTML features in XML output

Mif2Go uses the same code base for generic XML as for HTML. HTML output was developed first (because XML had not been invented yet), and then XHTML. Therefore, almost any HTML feature that can be used to produce valid XML does work in XML.

Table borders specified as standard pre-CSS HTML table attributes are a special case. For many of those, Mif2Go reverses the defaults for XML, so that the attributes you (almost) always want in HTML are not automatically added in XML. See §14.4.3 Eliminating HTML attributes and tags for generic XML.
