The original question

What are the limitations when serving XHTML pages?

is believed to be taken from here (along with several others) (EDITED: I couldn't be more wrong, as corrected by @darcyclarke below). While there's nothing wrong with it, I believe it has the protential to extract more about a candidate skills and knowledge if he's asked to compare HTML and XHTML instead.

Just my $0.02. Would be happy if you guys can correct me.

👍 I like this change.

Quick note though:

You are mistaken about the question's origin. The website/blog you reference was posted in August, 2013, doing a quick git blame will show you that the question What are the limitations when serving XHTML pages? has been in this document well before May, 2013. If anything, that site seems to have taken questions from us. Not the other way around.

I'm not surprised though, this document has existed since February, 2012 and is often ripped off without citation. I can definitely understand when there's topical overlap but the wording is the exact same (as you noted). #JustSayin

Oops, sorry. I didn't realize that this repo has been around for this long. Whoa.

@phanan Here's my original blog post from February 9th, 2012 http://darcyclarke.me/development/front-end-job-interview-questions/ The questions looked a lot different back then...

And yea, that question originates from this document it seems... so you can put a date/timestamp on it going back to at least February 9th, 2012.
