To show that I am a pedant :) XHTML is an implementation of XML whereas
HTML was a subset of SGML. The difference is (I believe) that HTML
initially used part of the vocabulary of SGML but XML as others have
pointed out is merely the rules by which other vocabularies might be
defined -> in this case XHTML.
