What do you mean that no browsers implement xhtml correctly? What are they missing? Opera writes its own pages in strict xhtml and their browser supports it.

If you are using XML-based technologies like XSLT to transform things to
create your output pages, the "commented out" text inside a <script>
element is going to get dropped on the floor.
What I also don't understand is why anybody is worried about generating
XHTML markup for the current generation of popular browsers, none of which
implement it correctly ... but that's a different issue.
