XHTML 1.1 clearly fails the "Where supported" test, Internet Explorer does 
not support it, so it's easy to avoid that restraint.  HTML and XHTML are 
both W3C technologies and HTML 4.01 is the latest version of HTML, there's 
no problem with it being used in that guideline.

Or would you suggest that because SVG 1.1 is newer than XHTML 1.1 we should 
use SVG?
