Nick is absolutely right. XHTML is essentially well formed HTML, which
means much more elegant but also a bit more restrictive, particularly
for beginners (particularly if you use XHTML 1.0 Strict, you might
prefer a less restrictive specification).
So everything comes down to the question: how much control do you have
over these HTML files? if you are starting a new project where HTML
files are controled by you, I strongly suggest XHTML, which is sooo much
better than plain HTML. In a perfect world all HTML files would be
XHTML. If HTML files come from someone else, or exist already, then
forget Expat.
