Why is XHTML needed? Isn't HTML good enough?

Answer Posted / guest

HTML is probably the most successful document markup
language in the world. But when XML was introduced, a
two-day workshop was organised to discuss whether a new
version of HTML in XML was needed. The opinion at the
workshop was a clear 'Yes': with an XML-based HTML other XML
languages could include bits of XHTML, and XHTML documents
could include bits of other markup languages. We could also
take advantage of the redesign to clean up some of the more
untidy parts of HTML, and add some new needed functionality,
like better forms.
