In WML 2.0, WML became a subset of the standard XHTML known as the XHTML Mobile Profile (XHTML MP). Since XHTML is a strict XML definition of HTML, it is a lot easier to process on resource-limited mobile devices (since it doesn't have to deal with all the exceptions allowed in the more permissive HTML used by many web sites). The following code snippet shows a simple XHTML MP document. Notice that it is also a well-formed XML document (it includes the closing tags that are not necessary in non-XHTML HTML documents).

XHTML is not yet the dominant markup language for Internet and mobile web sites. But it is widely supported in the new generation of authoring tools and dynamic web site frameworks.
