Yesterday I coded a web page that, I found, was capable of validating as both XHTML 1.0 Strict and as XHTML 1.1. So, I am trying to decide which XHTML doctype to use.

Is there any advantage--or disadvantage--in using an XHTML 1.1 doctype declaration over XHTML 1.0 Strict, and vice versa?

According to the W3C, the main differences are as follows

This document type is essentially a reformulation of XHTML 1.0 Strict using XHTML Modules. This means that many facilities available in other XHTML Family document types (e.g., XHTML Frames) are not available in this document type. These other facilities are available through modules defined in Modularization of XHTML, and document authors are free to define document types based upon XHTML 1.1 that use these facilities

Thanks,

After reviewing your posts as well as some of the documentation on the W3C website, I decided to simply keep the declaraction at XHTML 1.0 Strict.
