No offence, but I think you

No offence, but I think you gotta get deeper into the standard's specification, if you really think so.

UA creators have to consider certain things and it would suck not to choose the dominant standard in this case. Not to mention that the development of xHTML 2.0 has been quite slow recently. Much slower than HTML 5.0 and that is kinda freaking me out. As if it is not a priority any more.

Somewhere I read that using html code for the xml parser is no good any more and on another site I read that xHTML 2.0 is giving you more flexibility. Since making the proper semantic markup is quite important, this counts.

I think both are the same

I think both are the same thing!
HTML5 introduce the new tags ( header , content , navigation , videos ... etc ) but written with the same rules as xHTML ( closing tags , small letters , correct attributes , proper nesting ... etc )
so It doesn't really matter what will it's name be ... HTML5 or xHTML2.0 ... Just come with something that work correctly!

Actually thanks for bringing

Actually thanks for bringing this up, Megan.

Question for everyone:
xHTML 2.0 or HTML 5?

Yeah, I've seen that list

Yeah, I've seen that list idea before but it clearly is an abuse of lists. Sometimes people tend to over think the semantics and try to apply some when there just aren't any. That's why they've come up with some new tags for HTML5 (header, footer, section etc.)

Hehe. Yeah, it is total lists

Hehe. Yeah, it is total lists abuse.

That is a good link you posted, I will keep it for further reference. Thanks.

So far I am sticking with floats, by the way..

We abused tables for years to

We abused tables for years to get layouts to work cross-browser, so I suppose it's okay to abuse lists now.</sarcasm>

You may like to take a look at Layout Gala - a collection of 40 different layouts using a single, simple, semantic HTML markup. Much easier and more versatile, in my opinion...
