I'm a heavy hsp user. Could hsp benefit from this project by using blaze as a back end instead of whatever it's using now? IIUC, Hsp uses hsx (via the preprocessor program trhsx) to convert xml-containing hybrid hsp/xml/html files into compilable haskell. I expected hsx uses XHTML (which iiuc is what blaze would replace) on the backend but I don't see it listed in the dependencies at http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hsx-0.7.0 so I guess it doesn't and uses something internal rather than xhtml. (Right?) My question as regards BlazeHTML is if there could be any performance win/tie in for the hsp/hsx toolchain. FWIW, wrt to blaze sclv commented on reddit "The idea is rather that this would be a replacement for the html combinator library, as distinct from templating (hamlet, hstringtemplate, bravo, chunks, press, & co) and as distinct from the *sp model of inlined code (hsp). Edit: Ideally, and generally for Haskell libs, the choices of persistence layer, html generation library, dispatch model, and server layer are largely orthogonal. Strong typing makes any ad-hoc plumbing a breeze." http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/bxa0a/blazehtml_a_blazingly_fast_ht... thomas. 2010/5/30 Tom Lokhorst <tom@lokhorst.eu>:
+1 for HTML5.
Also, I suggest focussing on the html serialization of HTML5.
The xml serialization (XHTML5) is only useful in an XML environment. For such environments pure xml libraries are more appropriate.
Besides, I like html syntax better.

Q3: Which HTML version would you preferably use?
HTML 5. google summer of code should be about pushing the new and exciting.
Yes, definitely, this should be the default IMO.
