XHTML 2 is dead

Yesterday, however, the web standardisation committee pulled the plug on XHTML 2, a project that had been on the road to disaster for years. According to the development schedule, the XHTML2 Working Group charter expires at the end of the year and will not be extended.

Yippie! Big Grin

xHTML 1.1 still isn't usable in IE, so xHTML wouldn't have been properly implemented for another decade, or more..

I think the internet is slowly dying into a main controlled unit.

Back Somewhat.

What makes you say that? XHTML2 was a huge leap and was getting away from HTML and becoming more XML Toungue. And, just because it's not supported in IE yet doesn't mean Microsoft won't get their act together. I mean they will have to act fast when HTML5 is finished.

I think they should have stuck with developing XHTML2 I like a lot of the new stuff coming from it. And HTML5 makes me mad in a lot of places.

XHTML is great and works fine in IE for the most part.
If it doesn't it's IEs fault.

My sites are written in XHTML 1.1 (MyBB ones in XHTML 1.0) and CSS 3 and should work fine in all browsers.
Example: http://lennartsauter.de

I'm looking forward to HTML 5 but I also really looked forward to XHTML 2 and it's sad that it's cancelled now...

By the way - Firefox 3.5 supports HTML 5 (audio+movie tags and so on).

Kind regards
Lennart Sauter

RE: XHTML 2 is dead
They both look stupid. I would personally find CSS3 more useful with stuff like image border tags or rounded corners.
