Modularization of XHTML
On 10 April 2001, the W3C released the modularization of XHTML as a recommendation. This will allow XHTML to reach a wider audience and more platforms. Soon, you may see XHTML on things like your cell phone or television.
What is XHTML
XHTML is HTML rewritten to be a valid XML language. There are three XML types that correspond to the three HTML DTDs: strict, transitional, and frameset.
- strict - the most restrictive version of HTML
- transitional - a more lax version to allow for older documents that are updated to XHTML
- frameset - the specific HTML definition for frames
What is Modularization?
Modularization takes apart the language into separate modules or subsets that provide various types of functionality. These modules may be combined with one another and with other modules to create extended XHTML. This allows XHTML, which stands for eXtensible HTML to really become extensible.
