Both XHTML and HTML are currently valid and fully supported by most modern browsers. However there are several benefits to using XHTML over HTML.

WaSP provides a good article on the pros and cons of both:

HTML and XHTML are both legitimate and supported by a majority of modern browsers. But I think using XHTML is more advantageous. I may be wrong.
