Is there an interest in Lift using valid XHTML, or do the Lift crew only 
care if it's well-formed? I ask because the current version of Lift 
creates XHTML that is invalid on every page unless you adjust the 
default settings, and even then there seems to be a lot of 
framework-generated HTML that violates the XHTML DTD.

I prefer valid XHTML, so I adjust settings and rewrite pieces of Lift 
that break the code, but it occurs to me that others might not even be 
aware that this is an issue and might like to know how to make the HTML 
valid.

So is this something others are interested in, or is it enough that the 
current HTML output appears to work in most browsers?

If the former, I'd be happy to contribute examples for how to fix the 
problems.

(For the record, this is a serious question. Most of the programmers I 
know really couldn't care less if their HTML is "valid" as long as it 
works, so I don't want to assume anything. Even most programming books 
that show HTML show really bad, invalid, and obsolete HTML. HTML is 
evidently not considered a real language by most programmers.)

Oh, and for those who are curious and haven't tried it, the W3C HTML 
Validator is here:

There's a CSS validator, too:
