In HTML5 elements name are case insensitive while elements names are case sensitive and lower-case in XHTML. HTML5 provides the users with an ease of integrating different media as compared to XHTML. HTML5 allows like its predecessor developers to for more lenient code much to developers disappointment as compared to XHTML which reinforces strict and proper coding practises. HTML5 works better on various devices such as mobile phones and tablets while XHTML is best for computer screens.
So what is the right tool for the job? There is no conclusive answer to the question of HTML5 being superior to XHTML. The advantages and benefits depend on how one uses both languages. For a web content having media elements that should display well on various devices HTML5 supersedes XHTML but if web content has to be seen only for computer screens XHTML is a better choice as it is already known to the developers.
