At internet, you can read articles as this one:

  "It is important to note that XHTML has been chosen as the markup
   language of the future for all Web content (fixed and mobile) by
   standards bodies such W3C and OMA."

However, it seems such information is obsolete. The reality is that mobile 
devices does not work with XHTML:

  "the claim that XHTML would be needed for mobile devices
   is simply a myth."



So that is why the W3C just started a new working group to work on a new 
version of _non-XHTML_ HTML.  And that information is current, dated at March 
7th, 2007!.

P.S.: Just my opinion. Flames are not only welcome but also needed.
