1.1.1. Relationship to HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.1, DOM2 HTML
This section is non-normative.
This specification represents a new version of HTML4 and XHTML1, along with a new version of the associated DOM2 HTML API. Migration from HTML4 or XHTML1 to the format and APIs described in this specification should in most cases be straightforward, as care has been taken to ensure that backwards-compatibility is retained.
Read the fucking document... And HTML5 is not even past draft stage while XHTML 1.1 is normative since a good while.
xhtml is nice because you can run it straight through an xml parser. but html is equally easy to parse with the right tools. xhtml has been integrated and used quite nicely on Blogger.com's templates. that kind of thing is the only difference of which i know that is a real big difference between xhtml and html.

WHY NOT JUST FUCKING STORE DATA IN BINARY FORMAT STUPID PIECE OF FUQIN SHIT ENTERPRISE FAGGOTRY AND THEIR TEXT BASED MARK UP LANGUAGE WHAT THE FUCK
A HTML-5 browser should be flexible in handling incorrect syntax, unlike with XHTML, where the browser must refuse to render a document at all even if there is just one illegal character or missing close tag.

Anyone else shudder when reading this? Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
I don't see why that's a bad thing. Until browsers all render everything (including errors) the same way, there's no reason to forgive people for doing stupid things.
Besides, give me one reason why you would have illegal characters or missing close tags. (User input? Sanitize it, you dumbfuck PHPer.)

Then you'll agree to sentence every person offending law in any way (such as crossing the street outside designated areas) to death, right?
