XHTML is not very different, stricter rules and deprecating some stuff in favor of using CSS.

Curious thing is proper development doesn’t alway lead to wide adoption. It took some time to adopt XHTML, I don’t think it can be phased out easily.

The future could hold some more confusing things in store for all of us. To make matters worse, they are currently developing HTML 5 as well as XHTML 2.

But where is mainstream support? :) Show me mainstream site using SVG graphics, show me popular blog theme using scalable images. I think closest example will be Wikipedia but even there SVG is thumbnailed in PNG for display. SVG is around seven years old? RSS is close as far as I remember. Compare the scale both are adopted at moment. Thanks for your visit and comment. :) @stelt
