Wrong. XHTML is a "rephrasing" of HTML in XML. HTML 4.01 *Strict* would be 

enough. XHTML has the advantage that one could include XML islands (like 

MathML or SVG) within the document without referencing the outer world. 

XHTML ist not HTML in the usual sense. After all, it's MIME-type is 

application/xhtml, not text/xhtml...

HTML 4.01 with proper use of the <object> element and completely removing 

design elements (like <b>, <i>) would be more than sufficient

All IMO, of course
