The <a href="/2005/review-dhtml-utopia/" rel="nofollow">Langridge DHTML book that I reviewed</a> has a very interesting discussion about html 4.01 strict vs xhtml. I learned xhtml rather than html, so I find the syntax easier to remember, but don't think there's anything advantageous about xhtml that you can't find in html 4.01 apart from personal preference. @Marc – interesting you should mention “not having gone xhtml”.

It defies belief... I mean, I'm an avid Firefox user now (but I still haven't fully "gone XHTML" though; I'm seeing how far HTML 4.01 Strict gets me in the same semantic spirit -- I don't yet "need" any of the advanced XML-centric features, it seems; and it annoys me when you have to do that bizarre escape sequence for <em>one-off</em> inline blocks, etc...), but I'd still glad that IE is finally "moving forward" again.

(All other versions are a corrupted form!) *thinks*....Although it is questionable we invented the language because it's a fusion of all those other languages and dialects poured into one melting-pot. So I should rephrase: 'The English language in its entirity originated from our shores so our way of spelling the words is correct in the original version of the language'. Note: Don't take any of this seriously... :) asdfasdf = an American?
