According to the development schedule, the XHTML2 Working Group charter expires at the end of the year and will not be extended.

Yippie!

xHTML 1.0 and 1.1 is still popular though.

HTML5 will kill it.

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.

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

IE still uses css2...

They both look stupid. I would personally find CSS3 more useful with stuff like image border tags or rounded corners.
