What version of (X)HTML should a competent web designer use this days? Assuming that his/her design would work in all versions. I've been reading a lot about XHTML and liking it, but is any compatibility sacrificed if I leave HTML behind and go straight to XHTML 1.1 for all my work? Will Netscape 4 survive this, thanks to the transitional backwards-compatibility of XHTML? Or is it safer, at this junction, to still use HTML 4.0.1? I've being doing this gig since the early nineties, so I'm used to waiting (and waiting...) for good technology to be adopted across all pertinent browsers. Is the time right for universal use of XHTML? Or are there still caveats? Wondering... -Joseph
