    <p>According to <a href="http://www.dev-archive.net/articles/xhtml.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.dev-archive.net/articles/xhtml.html</a>, one of the reasons XHTML was created was: <br /><br /></p> <blockquote><p>to add the XML ability to extend the language through namespaces. This will make it possible for an author to express more structures and richer semantics than is possible with HTML today. In effect XHTML inherits the possibility of supporting more than one language — instead of extending HTML in a monolithic fashion, XHTML can be extended through modules, where each module define a specific subset of the language.</p><p>This, theoretically, means extension of the language can be done without the need for a browser upgrade.</p></blockquote> <blockquote>XHTML is meant to make the use of XML–based languages in end–user applications such as browsers easy, but can also be used for various data processing and storage purposes in situations where the web is only one of several channels. XHTML take advantage of the extensibility of XML to support multiple namespaces and through them languages.</blockquote> <p><br /> That article also notes that for most people this won't be useful: <br /><br /></p> <blockquote> <b>Recommendations</b><br /><br /> If you don’t have any specific need to deliver XML–based structures to the client, e.g. due to mixing namespaces such as having MathML content in your pages, using Ruby (XHTML 1.1) or techniques such as ACCESS (XHTML 1.2) then consider whether you won’t be better off simply by using HTML 4.01 Strict.</blockquote> <p><br /></p> <p><b>Edit with additional thoughts:</b></p> <p>I forgot to mention the point I popped in here to bring up too - XHTML can be more easily manipulated into other languages using XSL transforms.</p>
