    IIRC, xhtml 2 removes everything that was marked depreciated in HTML 4.01, which is a major huge change, both in as much as it changes a lot, and in as much as it seemed, prior to that, to support everything that had ever been in common use.

    I'm no expert, but theorbittwo's assessment sounds about right to me. All in all there are some pretty weighty changes.

    For example, check out this little gem from the xhtml FAQ...

    Is <img> being replaced by <object> in XHTML2?

    No. <img> is being replaced in XHTML2, but by something else ...

    What XHTML2 does is say that all images are equivalent to some piece of content; it does this by allowing you to put a src attribute on any element at all. What this says is: if the image is available, and the browser can process it, use it, otherwise use the content of the element. For instance:...

    Take a look at the elements in xhtml2 to get a sense of how much has changed.

      Wow. I should have been paying more attention to the evolution of XHTML standards. That is a great move toward more-elegant code in Web markup.
