xhtml is xml compliant html. To put it simply. It is a bit more strict than
HTML in terms of syntax.
You need to use if if you want to make xhtml compliant pages. Otherwise, no
need to worry about it if you are using HTML doctypes.

One other point is that because XHTML is also XML it can be read by more
devices than pure HTML alone, and can be processed by systems that can
process XML.

While that's true in theory, I'm not sure if it pans out that way in the
real world as much, does it?

Er, yes it does. The flip side is that it becomes possible to produce
HTML using XML tools, such as a XSLT processors or to convey HTML
content within larger XML documents. XHTML increases the informational
value of the document by enable it to be understood as data by other
programs - trying to extract data from earlier HTML standards was always
a nightmare.
