i'm designing our new website and, since i want to do something that
will last as long as possible and since i'm not in a hurry at all, i
wanted to use the most up-to-date authoring language.

"Newer" is not always "better". Browser support for XHTML is not very
good yet -- you're better off sticking with HTML 4.01 Strict.

You are right to want it to "last as long as possible", but I think
we can be confident that browsers will support HTML 4.01 as long as
the Web exists. To say it another way, browsers will _add_ and
_improve_ support for XML and XHTML; I am sure they won't remove
support for HTML.
