“A new standard is bringing publishers a step closer to creating
Web documents that can be understood by a full range of software

“The XHTML specification was approved Wednesday by the World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the Net’s standards body. It merges the

Multimedia Language (SMIL), mathematical expressions (MathML), and
metadata through the Resource Description Framework (RDF).”
