A quote in the article states essentially that - eventually the web
has to "move on to XML" and sooner or later it has to happen. 2.0
apparently depractes some things (and I havn't looked into it at all
yet so I don't know what) that 1.1 and HTML 4 use.

My question is how "broken" would such pages be?
