"Converting" XHTML 1.0 Strict to HTML5

OK folks,

So I have a valid XHTML 1.0 Strict webpage. I'm aware of the differences between XHTML and HTML, but, what are the differences between XHTML and HTML 5?

Would a 'conversion' be as easy as changing the Doctype, and it would all still validate OK?

Or, are there markup differences that would need to be changed first?

Thanks!

Jack

In many ways, easier than I thought. In others (e.g. IE Javascript) slightly more complex. But, my target audience will all be using standards-compliant browsers, so, I reckon HTML5 is the way to go for this. Thanks for your help!
