W3C. HTML 4.0 is the last planned version of HTML - after that all the
work is going into XHTML.

Supporting XHTML doesn't mean you're not supporting HTML - XHTML is
just an evolution of HTML. I think it's more significant that Mozilla
is recommending "Strict" for HTML than the HTML itself. HTML permits
sloppier coding - XHTML doesn't. But the Strict DTD forces you to stop
being sloppy.

But the point about moving towards XHTML is a bit irrelevant - why
would you want to hang on to HTML when you're going to be doing all
your styling with CSS? Take out all the styling codes, remember to
close tags, and write it all in lowercase - and you're already writing
transitional XHTML.

Best wishes,
Paula
