    Lightbulb XHTML and XForms

    XHTML is an application written in XML (as opposed to HTML, which was written in SGML). XForms is a new modal for collecting structured data - again using XML.

    Actually, XHTML is simply a derivation of XML that's centered on HTML. One chooses to use HTML or XHTML when specifying how a web page is structured.

    For XForms, read XForms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    What's a simple, primary reason you'd use XHTML?

    Default Xhtml

    I like it because it forces your documents to be "well-formed" (not have any errors in them).

    You can also take a look at:

    What are the advantages of using XHTML rather than HTML?

    Are they both just as easily recognizable by search engines?

    Nice resource. I think the momentum towards XHTML is important to keep in consideration.
