I'll defer to Julian on matters of HTML; he's braver than I ;)

WRT XHTML, it's a candidate for deprecation for a different reason; the W3C 
is moving away from XHTML as part of the HTML5 effort. Current fashion for 
this type of problem is to use microformats / RDFa, but that's still 
work-in-progress from a standards standpoint, AIUI.

As a member of the W3C HTML WG I have to disagree with Mark. HTML5 defines 
and maintains both serializations. It *does* spend lots of spec space to 
define tag-soup parsing, yes, but that's simply because that format is so 
broken; the XML variant is still there.

Best regards, Julian
