You are right, XHTML doesn't "recognize" anything.  XHTML is not code, it's 
markup.

I have been doing strict XHTML with PHP for years (boy, it's nice that way, 
far less crap to deal with).  My PHP generates or combines snipets of XHTML 
to produce a complete page.

Generally, IMNSHO, yes.  Stick with the strict standards, too.

I don't have any desire to maintain Netscape 4.x compatibility, myself :) .  I 
haven't done any HTML 4 in I don't know how many years.

I disagree.  Mainly due to my experiences with it, I've found that XHTML 
strict ends up producing fewer compatibility issues and workarounds to have 
to deal with.

I didn't try it, but where's your opening <?xml ?> tag?
