Differences between nxml-mode and nxhtml-mode?

I installed nxml-mode

and then nxhtml-mode

(and they look great, realtime checking right in my favorite editor is just sweet).

I understand that the XHTML file is an XML file, so I can use "just" nxml-mode

to edit the XHTML. But I'm a little confused: what does it offer nxhtml-mode

and what nxml-mode

does not?

If you were editing the XHTML, would you just use nxml-mode

or would you take the time to install nxhtml-mode

?

EDIT I have of course read the first nxhtml page where I downloaded nxhtml.

He says this, for example:

Completion and syntax checking for XHTML

      

So what kind of completion, for example, does this that nxml-mode won't do?

An example of something that can be done with nxhtml and cannot be done with nxml would be really great.

The nXhtml page discusses exactly this in the first section.



When I tried to use nXhtml, the reason was mumamo, which is only included in nXhtml. I needed a multi-mode solution for Rails development. It turned out that this made Emacs too laconic and didn't work perfectly all the time. After a few weeks, I gave up. I've never tried stuff to complete.
