XHTML is XML conformant, which gives you things like namespaces. It's
also much easier to machine generate, machine parse and apply styles to
server side.

This is why XHTML recommends things like <br /> to avoid ambiguity. There
are cases where HTML form is useful which is longer in XHTML though, eg
the shortcuts

	<td>blah</><>blah</><>blah</>

are not valid XHTML.
