Absolutely nothing wrong with using HTML4 though, providing you keep to best practices (properly nesting of elements, no self-containing attributes etc) to keep things smooth.
HTML5 looks very promising though; the only downside might be compatibility; how well will IE6 handle it?

IE6 is actually disappearing in the market share world
. As of now it has under 10% market share. So by the time HTML5 actually becomes a standard I think we'll all be nagging about IE7's inability to function properly lol. I always properly nest tags and follow good practices with any code I write anyway, so all the code is usually the same. Would it be correct to use strong and em instead of b and i with html4 strict? I assume so, but feel that I should double check.
