What are web standards?

There are several type of web standards consist of HTML, XML, XHTML, and CSS. Well, I know html, I been programming in html about 3 to 4 years of this web script. Html is widely used on the web for add structure to text documents. Where the browser interprets these document by representing the structure in media specific ways for the user. XML is a markup language like to html, but instead of having a single, fixed set of elements, it allows you to define your own or use a set made by someone else. XML also allows using multiple sets within a single document by using XML namespace. XHTML is a reformulation of html and xml applications. XHTML will display in your browser identically to the equivalent HTML. CSS is known as cascading style sheets is a mechanism for changing the appearance of HTML or XML elements, by assigning styles to element types, self-defined classes of elements or individual instances.
