Why Switch to XHTML?

[malasorte]

Currently I use HTML 4.01 Transitional on my site. I was thinking about making the switch to XHTML but this would be a huge effort.

Is it possible that HTML 4.01 Transitional will soon be deprecated and browsers might start having problems with it, or is it safe for the future?

Hi,

Have a look at this tread [webmasterworld.com].

HTML 4.01 transitional is certainly safe for the immediate future. The main reason I see for going to XHTML is if you have a reason to need xml functionality. Otherwise, the main transition I suggest is going to HTML 4.01 strict, at least for all new development.
