What is XHTML?

XHTML is the next generation of HTML. Move up to the new way of creating a web page and web site.
XHTML - eXtensible HyperText Markup Language.

The xmlns attribute is required in XHTML but not in HTML. However, the validator on w3.org does not complain when this attribute is missing from the <html> tag in an XHTML document. That is because "xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" is a fixed value and will be added to the <html> tag even if you do not include it.
