IE also has a strict mode that is triggered by different doctypes,
which fixes certain bugs in IE's model. That's nice. Not all of them
though.
Opera will _always_ try to render the html using the strict rules.
The Mozilla based browsers (including AOL for OSX which was released
the other day), has a few more doctypes to choose from for different
levels of compatibility with older HTML.
Both IE and Mozilla default to compatibility modem.

Also most of the popular blog software has already moved to XHTML code
generation, Moveable Type, probably one of the most popular included.

On a side note...XHTML 2 just reached it's first stages...no more img
tag, forms are deprecated for xforms, lots more. Of course...I may be
dead by the time everyone upgrades to the newer browsers.
