Future of Web Design

Posted 12 January 2005

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.
