• Why doesn't XHTML allow this?

    I wish that XHTML didn't need attributes to assign IDs and classes to elements... It seems that using a shorthand using the same format that selectors use would be a more simple way of doing this, and save on the number of characters needed in your documents (which, admittedly, doesn't matter but is nice on huge projects with high traffic).
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
    
    <head>
      <title>http://monokro.me</title>
    </head>
    
    <body>
    	<div#test>
    		<span.error>This is text.</span>
    	</div>
    </body>
    </html>
