What's the difference between XHTML 1.0 and 1.1

[Ryan8720]

I've read the what the W3C says, and I find it to be very unclear. What are the major differences?

Elements that were deprecated in XHTML 1.0 are just invalid/not supported in XHTML 1.1. Most of these were elements presentational, and the W3C is moving towards separation of information and its presentation.

The name attribute on anchors, for instance, is now replaced by the id attribute. And instead of three different doctypes, there is only one: not transitional, strict or frameset but just XHTML 1.1.

The purpose of the change is making XHTML documents that will be portable across many kinds of devices.
