> XML compliant HTML is XHTML
I'm not sure that this is entirely true... for example, you could write an
XML DTD for HTML that allowed for capital "<BODY>". This would allow you to
write HTML that is XML compliant.... XHTML only allows "<body>".
XHTML is merely a reformulation of HTML in XML.. they (w3c) decided to use
lowercase letters, stripped out presentational elements (<font>, etc).
If you rearrange your original statement, i think it is true:
XHTML is XML compliant HTML

agreed .. i think that all the tags should output XHTML. As far as i know,
anything that is valid in XHTML will also be valid in HTML, so it shouldn't
cause any backwards compatibility problems for people who are still using
HTML 4.0 or 3.2 or whatever.

XML compliant HTML is XHTML. I don't think we need the xhtml attribute for
the tag anymore. Because xhtml works in current and older browsers, I think
the tags should produce it every time. Many people do not use the
<html:html> tag so it doesn't make sense to require that to use xhtml.
