HTML 4.01 XHTML 1.0tag-for-tag identical, different syntax

Why XHTML(in 1999)

• Emergence of web standards

• Browsers starting supporting CSS

• More structured markup was welcomed

• Easier to parse

• Extensible (SVG, MathML)

content="text/html"

content="application/xhtml+xml"

VS

XHTML 1.1 (real XML)
