I think the only advantage to XHTML it the future promise of a "semantic web" and other buzzwords.
I'm happy with html and untill there is a compelling reason to switch I've got better things to do with my time. I think 90% of webmasters feel the same way so I just don't see much progress being made on that front. |

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand!

 Although XHTML itself isn't responsible, the adaptation of XHTML (primarily because it is the common default for blog scripts) has forced more people to adopt better coding standards than would likely have happened otherwise. All those "valid XHTML" links in the default templates which people couldn't resist clicking, had thousands discovering that their code was packed with errors. And as XHTML became a buzz, it started to be used by non-bloggers, many of whom found that their pages wouldn't display properly: off to the validator! Exactly the same improvements could have been achieved with HTML, but I doubt they would have been. Be honest, how many people - HTML coders in particular - bother to validate their code? For most, providing the page looks okay, that is enough. |
