[WSG] XHTML v HTML (also a question about GoLive)

[Mordechai Peller]

A potential client asked me: How does a xhtml site differ from an html site and will I be able to make modifications myself using a program such as Adobe Golive which creates html pages? It's the second half of the question with which I'm having a problem since I have no experience with GoLive. While the thought of a WYSIWYG touching my code horrifies me, anyone know the answer? In regards to the first half, while I'm able to answer it, I was hoping for some feedback either to answer better, or in case I overlooked something. Besides the purely technical differences, what come to mind is the following: Since the rules are stricter, it forces code to be cleaner; It must be well formed, therefore it's more machine readable and more SE friendly; It's XML and can be treated as data; and XHTML replaces/is the newest version of HTML and therefore more geared to the future. Thanks in advance.
