HTML5 vs. XHTML
A quick thought about upcoming HTML5 standard.
The main advantage of HTML5 is lots of modern web features like:
- embedding multimedia content;
- 2D drawing with canvas;
- new DOM methods;
- Web Forms.
But with XHTML we still have XML comparability, that brings lots of libs and apps which can work with well formed XML/XHTML (aka parsers). So HTML5 is missing that.
HTML5 parsing will come soon after specification release, so we can start to use it believing in future.
