The HTML5 specification defines two syntaxes, an HTML syntax and an XHTML syntax. The HTML syntax is intended to be served using the text/html media type. The XHTML syntax is intended to be served using the application/xhtml+xml media type. The Polyglot Markup: HTML-Compatible XHTML Documents specification (a work in progress) describes documents that conform to both syntaxes and can therefore be served as application/xhtml+xml or text/html.
