Like I said - its a personal choice.

Not at all. I mean that is actually an advantage of HTML that you can write
less to achieve the same. But few people are able to recognize that.

and allow addition of non-specified tags
Wrong. Extensions of the language, which is what you are talking about,
were allowed not before XHTML 1.0.

I think you may find that extension tags like the dreaded <MARQUEE
were around a while before XHTML.

Those are not in any way allowed or endorsed by the language specifications.
And XHTML does not change that because there is still no official XHTML DTD
to include it, and hopefully there will never be one.

XHTML is actually *an application of* XML which is a subset of SGML.

Technically, you are correct.

I am also practically correct.
