Seems like you're caught up in a lot of the XHTML myths, check this out and it'll clear it up - http://www.webdevout.net/articles/beware-of-xhtml


I believe that XHTML 1.1 has to adhere to the content type of "application/xhtml+xml" which isn't supported in any Internet Explorer browser - so I don't know where you got your results from. When you send XHTML as "text/html" to many browsers it's often (and IE is one of them) it's rendered as broken HTML check that link for more information.

The results are from ie6 and most those myths contradict each other, the comments on xhtml validation is an outright lie and it does enforce styling constraints which after claiming it doesn't then goes on to say it does, but this is now somehow a bad thing?

Equally html 5 borrows alot of stuff that was developed as part of the xhtml specification, so yea its kinda true when it says xhtml 1.1 isnt future proof in terms of xhtml 2.0, but it neglects to mention xhtml 1.1 code is more future proof in terms of html 5 than html 4.1 would be. The rest of the myths i've never heard of an expect were just made up so the article writer had more to disagree with.

That goes on to prove; that just because some random article says it.. doesn't mean it's true.

Caleb a lot of what it says in the article is true, and it's a well respected article by a lot of professionals at CSS, you should consider reading it too.
