This demonstrates that you aren't even aware of what does and doesn't
distinguish XHTML from HTML 4.01. That being the case, you lack a basis
for judging the relative merits of using either of them. For your
information, XHTML adds nothing to HTML 4.01 in the way that external
style sheets and box design are used in preference to markup to specify
presentation for a page.
