Actually hardly anyone wanted XHTML2, because it was a purely academic excercise in making established things harder (<a href="..." target="_blank") without compelling features.

I tried to use it but then completely reverted to HTML4. Thank god we have HTML5 now.

It's invalid in XHTML2, as well as XHTML 1 Strict.


You mean the target attribute? It wasn't in XHTML 1 Strict or 1.1, but you're wrong about XHTML 2. http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/mod-hyperAttributes.html#adef_hy...
