About XHTML 1.0

XHTML 1.0 is HTML first major change since 1997, while also providing a very important step towards a more rich web path to a wider user agent, the user agent (Agent), including desktop computers , mobile devices and cell phones.

XHTML is a smoothly migrate from HTML 4.01 XML applications. Reconstruction of the W3C HTML 4.01 XML as a first step, leading to the birth of XHTML 1.0. XHTML 1.0 rely on semantics provided in HTML 4.01 tags.

The next step is to XHTML into smaller modular set of elements, such as XHTML and other markup languages ​​(such as vector graphics and multimedia) binding easier.

Meanwhile, XHTML modularization can also reduce development costs, improve collaboration with other applications (such as databases), and more with a different user agent (browser) to communicate, as well as more pure integration between HTML and different XML standards.

Small browser can support the selected model to reduce its complexity (but once a model is selected, it is necessary to support all of its properties).
