Quite a many. Why do you care?

Not really. The (in)famous appendix C purports to list the differences, but
it doesn't. Some of the "differences" aren't differences, and some of the
existing syntactic differences aren't listed there. Of course, this partly
depends on your meaning for "syntax difference". For example, HTML restricts
the name="..." attribute value to a NAME, whereas XHTML DTDs allow any
string (CDATA) there. Is this a syntax difference?
(If you don't know what appendix C is, don't even dream of using XHTML.)
To produce a list, someone would have to read the XHTML and HTML
specifications, especially including the DTDs, and compare them carefully.
And I mean painful care. I see no reason to do anything like that. I might
see a few thousands of euros as good enough a reason, but nobody offered to
pay me, or anyone else, for such a job.
