no, I don't mean rewrite everything. I mean there's nothing wrong
with starting now and moving forward.

Why do you doubt it? There will be no further versions of HTML. So
therefore HTML is dead & IF (yes, big if) the browsers support XML,
HTML will just fall into disuse & die.
>did support for HTML 2.0 or 3.2 fall away?
not yet. maybe later.

I have been working on a site, and I think the XHTML spec has changed
once or twice since I started. Will I now re-code it? I will not.
Will I try to move ahead on the next project? probably. but that's
just me.
FWIW, this is my personal stuff. If I actually get to code HTML 4
(aka kill font tags) in my work-for-hire, that will be just dandy
with me.
Do what you want. Each site is different. But there is no big
reason NOT to build a site with XHTML.
