There is but minute _practical_ differences between XHTML 1.0 Strict and XHTML 1.1 (in theory, the latter is supposed to pave the way for modularization, but it never really caught on) I found a real stopper for me in XHTML 1.1: it doesn't allow the ":lang" attribute anymore; only "xml:lang" is possible. And "xml:lang" can't be styled with CSS... This really is an issue only for localisation/internationalisation- conscious people (using different languages in one document, such as a quote, an etymology, a foreign book...), but this led me to revert back to XHTML 1.0 Bottom line: • If you want the latest version, use it • If you don't care, do whatever you want • If you need styling foreign words in a clean way (no hack), stick to XHTML 1.0
