XHTML/1.0 Transitional is "more recent" than HTML/4.01 Strict, but,
far from making someone look "good", some of us think it makes them
look silly.

XHTML/1.0 Transitional could be regarded as a proof of concept by the W3C.
Whether "they" (the collective "they") ever expected anyone to seriously
use it for authoring, is, I'd suggest, an open question.
