Exercise 11.6: XML introduction

Question 6.
The current recommendation of W3C is to use XHTML as an alternative to HTML.

I am not sure what the question is here so I will just list the benefits of using XHTML as outlined by the W3C.

According to the W3C, developers who migrate their content to XHTML 1.0 will realize the following benefits:
  • XHTML documents are XML conforming. As such, they are readily viewed, edited, and validated with standard XML tools.
  • XHTML documents can be written to operate as well or better than they did before in existing HTML 4-conforming user agents as well as in new, XHTML 1.0 conforming user agents.
  • XHTML documents can utilize applications (e.g. scripts and applets) that rely upon either the HTML Document Object Model or the XML Document Object Model (DOM).
  • As the XHTML family evolves, documents conforming to XHTML 1.0 will be more likely to interoperate within and among various XHTML environments.
