Well, there's a little more than will fit within that nutshell. XHTML isn't HTML at all - it's an XML language that shares many common elements with HTML and it is intended to replace HTML. However, you may have written well-formed HTML that isn't at all XHTML-compliant. Also, element names - what we'd typically call tag names in HTML - must also be lowercase, and there are some HTML tags which don't exist in XHTML if I recall correctly. > I'm sure Jochem has an RFC or BLT or some such that he'll > share as well :) You don't want to get a sandwich in the mail from Europe; trust me on that.
