Easier to validate, all open tags should be closed, code looks better and more logical. :) @Dan:

Yet i personally stick to XHTML1 (transitional) since the code structure looks more logic to me and i can find invalid code much faster. Also in my opinion HTML 4 sometimes can be a pain in the ass if you do not use a wysiwyg editor (i prefer notepad++ over wysiwyg tbh).

And I am not yet sure that XHTML 1 will have its equivalent as XHTML 5 (at least, the 'standard' variant that we are used to, when you serve code as text/html, because of older versions of IE...).

HTML is a bit loose for me, as a standard -- that's why I prefer XHTML, which forces me to close all open tags, to have all attributes in quotes, etc. I hope that XHTML 5 will be an option for us, and that we could still serve it as text/html (because of IE7 and below, of course)! :-) @taotsu-pro:
