Future of Web Design

XHTML 2.0 is the next version of XHTML and pushes to be quite extraordinary.

In addition to a whole slew of features, XHTML 2.0 will have the following:

  • moving the image tag to the object tag
  • including block elements in paragraphs
  • proving linking capabilities on all elements, not just anchors
  • giving all elements a src attribute, potentially replacing image replacement techniques.
  • the section tag
  • the line tag
  • navigation list
  • the definition item tag for definiton lists
  • and so on

It is all very exciting and looks to provide more flexibility and semantics.

Sjoerd Visscher has developed a test site that shows how XHTML 2.0 might look when styled. Very cool.

  1. Hi Kim:

    I don’t like the idea of tags because how does one distinguish one from another. I do like the and tags though.

  2. Outside of BASIC and a very small smattering of PASCAL, HTML is what I started with. Tags are what is familiar to me, and probably why I prefer ColdFusion over PHP. I don’t find tags to be hard to distinguish at all.
