Not for a bizarre reason but because the World Wide Web Consortium is
moving toward replacing HTML with XML. This is much the same but more
tight and formal so that it is easier for JavaScript commands to find
the object on the page which is to be changed. For example, you might want
one of the pictures in your table to change when you click a button
elsewhere on the page. If the HTML is sloppy, it is impossible to
explain to JavaScript which object you are talking about.

It also makes style sheets more reliable.

The most obvious change is that the end tags (with a slash - no good
typing them here because YAM thinks you mean italics) must be included
for <TR>, <TD>, <P>, etc. 

There are other advantages to XML, but it will make coding a bit harder
for beginners.
