Well ... HTML 5 is being developed so XHTML is likely not the future,
I was under the impression that you'll also be able to write HTML 5 in
XHTML syntax (as XHTML 5, obviously different from XHTML 2 which is a
different concept?).
They are still planning this, but the point is that HTML is not dead,
(real) XHTML is still badly supported among user agents, and support for
other namespaces mixed with XHTML (which is the only major benefit for
it on the client side) is even worse.
While exploring the standards compliance/XHTML/HTML issue,
I was surprised by the variation in the display of Alt text.
On the small sample, the XHTML/HTML did not seem to make a jot of difference.
The screen shots are available at

If anyone would like to send me screenshots of
other browsers/operating systems/combinations of the two pages,
I will add them, with a specific acknowledgement
or no identification/acknowledgement as the contributer would like.
