The <a href="/wiki/Document_Object_Model" title="Document Object Model">Document Object Model</a> (DOM) is a tree structure that represents the page internally in applications, and XHTML and HTML are two different ways of representing that in markup. Both are less expressive than the DOM – for example, "--" may be placed in comments in the DOM, but cannot be represented in a comment in either XHTML or HTML – and generally, XHTML's XML syntax is more expressive than HTML (for example, arbitrary namespaces are not allowed in HTML). XHTML uses an XML syntax, while HTML uses a pseudo-<a href="/wiki/SGML" class="mw-redirect" title="SGML">SGML</a> syntax (officially SGML for HTML&#160;4 and under, but never in practice, and standardized away from SGML in HTML5). Because the expressible contents of the DOM in syntax are slightly different, there are some changes in actual behavior between the two models. Syntax differences, however, can be overcome by implementing an alternate translational framework within the markup. </p><p>First, there are some differences in syntax:<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <ul><li><span class="anchor" id="self-closing_tag"></span><span class="anchor" id="self-closing_syntax"></span><span class="anchor" id="self-closing"></span>Broadly, the XML rules require that all <a href="/wiki/HTML_element" title="HTML element">elements</a> be closed, either by a separate closing tag or using the self-closing syntax (e.g. <code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-xml mw-content-ltr" style="" dir="ltr"><span class="nt">&lt;br</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nt">/&gt;</span></code>), while HTML syntax permits some elements to be unclosed because either they are always empty (e.g. <code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-html mw-content-ltr" style="" dir="ltr"><span class="p">&lt;</span><span class="nt">input</span><span class="p">&gt;</span></code>) or their end can be determined implicitly ("omissibility", e.g. <code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-html mw-content-ltr" style="" dir="ltr"><span class="p">&lt;</span><span class="nt">p</span><span class="p">&gt;</span></code>).</li> <li>XML is case-sensitive for element and <a href="/wiki/HTML_attribute" title="HTML attribute">attribute</a> names, while HTML is not.</li> <li>Some shorthand features in HTML are omitted in XML, such as (1) <i>attribute minimization</i>, where attribute values or their quotes may be omitted (e.g. <code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-html mw-content-ltr" style="" dir="ltr"><span class="p">&lt;</span><span class="nt">option</span> <span class="na">selected</span><span class="p">&gt;</span></code> or <code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-html mw-content-ltr" style="" dir="ltr"><span class="p">&lt;</span><span class="nt">option</span> <span class="na">selected</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">selected</span><span class="p">&gt;</span></code>, while in XML this must be expressed as <code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-xml mw-content-ltr" style="" dir="ltr"><span class="nt">&lt;option</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="na">selected=</span><span class="s">&quot;selected&quot;</span><span class="nt">&gt;</span></code>); (2) <i>element minimization</i> may be used to remove elements entirely (such as <code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-xml mw-content-ltr" style="" dir="ltr"><span class="nt">&lt;tbody&gt;</span></code> inferred in a table if not given); and (3) the rarely used SGML syntax for element minimization ("shorttag"), which most browsers do not implement.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></li> <li>There are numerous other technical requirements surrounding namespaces and precise parsing of whitespace and certain characters and elements. The exact parsing of HTML in practice has been undefined until recently; see the HTML5 specification (<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/">[HTML5]</a>) for full details, or the working summary (<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/HTML_vs._XHTML">HTML vs. XHTML</a>).</li></ul> <p>In addition to the syntactical differences, there are some behavioral differences, mostly arising from the underlying differences in serialization. For example: </p> <ul><li>Behavior on parse errors differs. A fatal parse error in XML (such as an incorrect tag structure) causes document processing to be aborted.</li> <li>Most content requiring namespaces will not work in HTML, except the built-in support for SVG and MathML in the HTML5 parser along with certain magic prefixes such as <code>xlink</code>.</li> <li>JavaScript processing is different in XHTML, with minor changes in case sensitivity to some functions, and further precautions to restrict processing to well-formed content. Scripts must not use the <code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-javascript mw-content-ltr" style="" dir="ltr"><span class="nb">document</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nx">write</span><span class="p">()</span></code> method; it is not available for XHTML. The <code>innerHTML</code> property is available, but will not insert non-well-formed content.

It is highly unlikely we could support XHTML well in this way; in particular, we would certainly not detect a few error cases here or there, and we would silently support invalid cases. This would, of course, cause compatibility problems based on parser error handling in the future, which XML is explicitly trying to avoid; we don't want to cause another mess like the one with current HTML error handling (rooted in compatibility with earlier browsers – you can blame me for that personally somewhat, but not IE). I would much rather take the time to implement XHTML properly after IE 7, and have it be truly interoperable...</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=unknown&amp;rft.btitle=The+%3C%3Fxml%3E+prolog%2C+strict+mode%2C+and+XHTML+in+IE&amp;rft.date=2005-09-15&amp;rft.au=Chris+Wilson&amp;rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fblogs.msdn.com%2Fie%2Farchive%2F2005%2F09%2F15%2F467901.aspx&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AXHTML" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-36"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-36">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFHachamovitch2019" class="citation web cs1">Hachamovitch, Dean (2019-03-16). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2010/03/16/html5-hardware-accelerated-first-ie9-platform-preview-available-for-developers.aspx">"HTML5, Hardware Accelerated: First IE9 Platform Preview Available for Developers"</a>. <i>IEBlog on <a href="/wiki/Microsoft_Developer_Network" title="Microsoft Developer Network">Microsoft Developer Network</a></i>. <a href="/wiki/Microsoft" title="Microsoft">Microsoft</a><span class="reference-accessdate">.

The attempt to get the world to switch to XML, including quotes around attribute values and slashes in empty tags and namespaces all at once didn't work. The large HTML-generating public did not move, largely because the browsers didn't complain. Some large communities did shift and are enjoying the fruits of well-formed systems, but not all. It is important to maintain HTML incrementally, as well as continue a transition to [a] well-formed world, and develop more power in that world.<br /> "The plan is to charter a completely new HTML group. Unlike the previous one, this one will be chartered to do incremental improvements to HTML, as also in parallel XHTML. It will have a different chair and staff contact. It will work on HTML and xHTML together. We have strong support for this group, from many people we have talked to, including browser makers.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&amp;rft.genre=unknown&amp;rft.btitle=Reinventing+HTML&amp;rft.date=2006-10-27&amp;rft.au=Tim+Berners-Lee&amp;rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fdig.csail.mit.edu%2Fbreadcrumbs%2Fnode%2F166&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AXHTML" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-html5-WD-47"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-html5-WD_47-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFIan_HicksonDavid_Hyatt2011" class="citation web cs1">Ian Hickson; David Hyatt (2011-01-13). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/">"HTML5: A vocabulary and associated APIs for HTML and XHTML"</a><span class="reference-accessdate">.
