"If you're a web developer, you've probably heard about XHTML, the markup language developed in 1999 to implement HTML as an XML format. Most people who use and promote XHTML do so because they think it's the newest and hottest thing, and they may have heard of some (usually false) benefits here and there."

Pretty much everything stated in the article is true. I still prefer XHTML over HTML though. By conditionally changing the content-type using PHP, my site renders as application/xhtml+xml on supporting browsers, while it falls back to text/html on others. For anyone interested, this article gives a few options on serving XHTML correctly: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/03/19/dive-into-xml.html
