Description
Not too long ago an issue was brought to django-developers this thread about using HTML4 or XHTML on the output generated inside Django.
It was said to:
- Leave this until 1.0 gets out
 - Fill a ticket to not forget this and keep track.
 - Find an elegant way to handle this.
 
So here it is. My first recomendation: have a setting for choosing either HTML4, XHTML, HTML5... etc.

See http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/msg/a65fbbc8effcd914. As is pointed out there, having a setting to switch between HTML and XHTML would be very irritating - and besides, moving forward we'll probably want to stick to HTML5. Can we close this as wontfix?

Yes, I also think it's a WONTFIX now that all Django templates use HTML5.

"The web framework for perfectionists with deadlines." Maybe not everyone is using the same definition of perfection. =)
#6925 asks for something about that.
