Also, the take-up of XHTML has not been as widespread as was hoped for; many sites still use HTML. For those reasons (and many more), the <a href="http://www.whatwg.org/charter" rel="nofollow">WHATWG</a> has proposed HTML5, which will introduce a number of new features to build on the existing HTML specification. Well-formatted HTML (with a Strict DTD) is just as good as XHTML in it's current incarnation. Whichever you want to use is up to your personal preference; I myself am tending to move back to HTML after using XHTML for a while.
