There Is No Safari For Windows, Not Even in iTunes

MovableBlog: "An otherwise excellent article on the future of web standards, which is taken from an article originally posted on the author's weblog on May 19th, contains the following: 'Literally millions of people use a big chunk of Safari on Windows. It's the browser built into iTunes. It works today.' That is incorrect: iTunes does not use Safari to render HTML, [and] iTunes does not even use HTML, but it does use XML. Sources: Mihai Parparita in the comments: 'iTunes doesn't use the Safari/KHTML rendering engine. The store server spits out XML in a custom format (which bears little resemblance to XHTML)'. Mihai also points to a weblog article on the XML format iTunes uses."

Ah well. We can still dream, can't we?
