Aside from " />", is there any difference between HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0?

But I guess one reason I've gone with XHTML is that it will eventually
replace HTML. It won't be an alternate version, and it doesn't seem
likely that there will be an HTML 5. I've never seen a problem with the
/> tag yet, so just like there's no real reason to use XHTML, there
doesn't seem to be much of a reason *not* to.
