No.

XHTML, but this may still take a while. Currently only the most recent
browsers support it (IE doesn't) and XHTML 2 is still a working draft.
It will take years until it makes sense to use it.

Yeah, until Microsoft manages to make a browser that handles XHTML
correctly and doesn't require using text/html content-type for XHTML
files instead of application/xhtml+xml or text/xml. Unfortunately that
might take a decade to happen..
