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.
