XHTML5 is just HTML5 restricted to XML syntax: all tags must be closed, so no using just a <br> or an <img> without the slash. It also allows you to embed other XMLs in it, but that may be true in HTML5 as well, I'm not sure.

Exactly.
In reality, there is no such thing as XHTML5.(The next version of XHTML was going to be XHTML2, but was dropped by the W3C).  HTML5 is very flexible, so you can code as you would like.
But not as forgiving as HTML4

HTML5 has REALLY sloppy syntax (i.e. <br> doesn't need to close, but <div> does).

However, in XHTML5, EVERYTHING needs to close, it is case-sensitive, and every attribute must have a value (i.e. [s]<input type="text" disabled />[/s], use <input type="text" disabled="disabled" />).

There's not a need because you can close those yourself (and I do) in HTML5

Yeah, but if I don't, then it doesn't care.
I still use XHTML 1 for that reason, because I need well-formed syntax.
Any HTML5 validator would accept <br> as well as <br/>, but an XHTML5 validator would only accept <br/>.

So XTML5 would require <canvas/>

I guess. I'm still learning about the new elements in HTML5, and I don't know which ones are self-close.

Canvases wouldn't. You use them like

Code:

<canvas id="example" width="200" height="200">
this text is displayed if your browser does not support html5 canvas.
</canvas>

Oh. *facehoof*

I use HTML5 but with the XHTML syntax.

Yeah, I have like no sense of perfection

Everyone I know in the web design community (all 3 people) except LS97 make fun of me because I still use XHTML 1.0, and I don't know the HTML5 stuff yet.

That's fine! Good idea being backwards compatible. 
Besides, if you really need the html5, you can just open a html5 reference in another browser tab.

Yeah, I really hate people that don't end their lines with a semicolon.

I always use <br/> anyway, until recently when I started getting a bit lazy, but still I usually use self closing tags.
