    The XHTML 2.0 Document Type

    When can we start to use XHTML 2.0?

    P.S. Go to the top and note the editors:

    Jonny Axelsson, Opera Software
    Mark Birbeck, x-port.net
    Micah Dubinko, Invited Expert
    Beth Epperson, Websense

    Does this indicate that Opera 10.0 will be XHTML 2.0 compliant?

    John, but isn't HTML5, in mathematical terms, a subset or a dialect of XHTML?

    Doesen't everything point in the direction of X(HT)ML?

    Some reccomend to use XHTML 1.1 in your code today.

    May be I use to many links to may owns sites / pages, so this time I will point you to the following artice:

    P.S.
    From the article you point to:

    XHTML 2.0 is dead, as W3C failed on that one. We can only hope that we will get HTML 5 and an XML-ified version of that, similar to HTML 4.01 vs. XHTML 1.0.

    XHTML 1.1 is not recommended. Otherwise I would have updated my sites already... ;)

    I cannot speak about myself. But I can tell that Joe Clark is a guru.

    I see that your location is European Union. Do you know the Norwegian poet, Sibjørn Obstfelder, that said the following:

    "Seems like I have come to the wrong planet" :-)

    Isn't it more on topic in the Usability /Accessibility forum? I thought I posted it there.
