Which is the strictest mode of XHTML to make my coding habits semantically and better?

XHTML 1.0 Strict or XHTML 1.1

Best Answer

There is no XHTML mode that will force you to do things semantically or correctly - you need to use knowledge for this.

(Just because a page passes validation, that does not mean it is semantically correct)

In XHTML 1.1: element ‘input’ cannot be nested within element ‘form’. Why

According to the W3C and this site the <form> element in XHTML 1.1 may only contain block level elements and <fieldset>.

As for why ... I believe that the reason that form may only contain block-level elements is because it is not considered an element in itself, but rather a wrapper around other elements. There was some discussion of this in the w3c's mailing lists some years ago that I was able to dig up -- but nothing that actually answered the question.

An authoritative place to look for allowed containment relations is the HTML spec. See, for example, http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/dtd.html. It specifies which elements are block elements and which are inline. For those lists, search for the section marked "HTML content models".

For the P element, it specifies the following, which indicates that P elements are only allowed to contain inline elements.

<!ELEMENT P - O (%inline;)*            -- paragraph -->

This is consistent with http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#h-9.3.1, which says that the P element "cannot contain block-level elements (including P itself)."
