Well, it's XHTML ;)
But the advantages are actually:
1) XHTML is _the_ current HTML standard
2) XHTML is XML-based, might be easier to parse.
3) XHTML has the priority put onto the semantics and thus the design is
CSS-based
4) It's easy to convert to it using XSL-stylesheet (I've actually seen an
example somewhere, that's why I proposed that)
But as it's marginally different from HTML4, the decision could be
postponed to the time, when our XSL-Templates get mature and when we are
able to generate PDFs for all languages ;)
