It's just a bit more thought through than HTML4. Considering the current <a href="http://dbaron.org/log/2006-08#e20060818a" rel="nofollow">mess</a> the W3C is in right now, I wouldn't expect XHTML 2 to hit the shelves anytime soon, though.

Nice to see that old page is still useful to some people :-). I'm sure the table is not 100% accurate today, but the Doctypes you suggest should trigger Standard Mode.
