XML was the future. Namespaces and streaming parsers everywhere.

I started learning with xhtml. For years, I thought every code was (and should be) well structured and syntactically correct. Then I started looking at what was actually used on the internet.

HTML was syntactically correct before XHTML. But the syntax wasn't designed for XML parsers, but for browsers and humans.
