According to FB the FBML is deprecated and will be removed on June 1, 2012 - see http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fbml/

Since a lot of modules in Drupal for FB package contain FBML tags, is there any plan when these will be replaced with HTML and JS? As I browse through source code of fb_form, fb_friends and fb_example modules, I can't see any action taken on this issue.

FBML deprecation problem is also partly addressed here http://drupal.org/node/1035250

Thanks for any guideline

My understanding is that the old, original, FBML is deprecated, but that XFBML is still OK. If you look at facebook's social plugins example code, i.e. on this page http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/, you will see XFBML as one option, along with HTML5 and javascript options.

Probably, HTML5 markup is preferable to XFBML, but I don't think it is urgent to change it all.
