in reply to @iliana's post:

I mean, it was kind of great, not having to worry about either parsing or generating text representations of HTML correctly. It meant for a brief period of time, I could focus on what structure I wanted that HTML to have instead of looking up the syntax for tags every time and hoping it validated whatever weird quirks mode browsers used to imitate MSIE. I honestly think XHTML would have taken off had it either (1) degraded more gracefully, (2) not inherited some of the namespace weirdness of early-00s XML, or (3) come out later. It's funny to me that JSON degrades exactly as poorly as XML (woe befall you if you miss one }), and basically reinvented XML namespaces in the form of JSON-LD, but is pretty much lingua franca in a lot of areas now.
