I think it is worth getting to know XHTML because it prepares you for
dealing with XML ie. your document has to be well-formed. HTML still
allows you to use unclosed tags to make a "valid" page. The added
strictness regarding attribute values and case-sensitivity in XHTML
seems to me to increase the consistency of development in XHTML over
HTML. Also some of the comments others made about XHTML seem to be a
little off target. XHTML is not XML, it is an intermediate step between
HTML and XML... http://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/xhtml_why.asp
Getting to know AJAX will also help build an understanding of XML. But
I guess the really question is what sort of web development does the OP
want to do?
