actually, i’d say:
* the current version of HTML is HTML 4.01.
* the current version of XHTML is XHTML 1.1.
* development is now under way (via WHAT-WG) for HTML 5.0 (and since a few people involved in browser manufacturers sit on the WHAT-WG, some implementation is already happening at browser level - e.g. the CANVAS element). this will be the next HTML version.
* XHTML 1.1 is, as far as i know, the last backwards-compatible exercise of redefining HTML in XML form.
* XHTML 2 breaks with backwards-compatibility and will be the new frontier, particularly when taking advantage of the true nature of the eXtensibility aspect and mixing in other vocabularies…but browser support is a big potential stumbling block here.

I agree with Patrick, I don’t think the question gives enough detail. Tragic though they may be, these differences are important.
Personally I’d like to see HTML 5 be the next “standard” that everyone’s developing against.
