I asked a designer friend of mine recently why he preferred XHTML over HTML. He had a whole set of reasons (paraphrased and translated from Dutch): 1. XHTML = XML, which makes transformation from XML to XHTML with, for example, XSLT much simpler. 2. XHTML is consistent: all tags are closed instead. Unlike HTML, which is very inconsistent and thus harder to deal with. An important aspect here is that parent vs child relations in XHTML are always clear, which is critical when styling content. 4. XHTML works on all browsers and is downwards compatible with ancient browsers, so no reason not to use it. 5. XHTML supports JavaScript DOM manipulation much better 6. XHTML can be parsed by both javascript and server side-parsers as XML which makes it easy to process. Some JavaScript parsers can not handle old HTML at all 7. There no reason not to use XHTML.
