We've tried to get rid of the document.write() tricks before, but with no
success. There's always some squirrely case that crops on (especially on IE)
that's forced us to put them back in. There are also a couple of specific
corner cases that rely on document.write(), which would need to be
preserved:
1. computeScriptBase() uses it to find the "current" script element, so it
can compute the base url from which it was loaded.
2. It's used to determine when script injection (i.e., <script> tags
referenced in the .gwt.xml file) is done.

The above two cases are probably impossible to solve without
document.write(), though I'm certainly open to ideas. Assuming that's
correct, it would mean you'd have to remove automatic script base detection
and disable script injection. As much as I'd like to do that, we can't do so
without breaking many existing apps.

If you really must have XHTML support (something I've never found any actual
utility in personally), then probably the better approach would be to design
a different linker for it that explicitly removes the above features.
