Please don't give up on the XHTML thing. Alex Russell is completely wrong in the article Jesse referred to. His condemnation of so-called "academics" (Alex's label) smacks of narrow-mindedness, lack of forethought and wilful unawareness of the very history of web development he briefly covers (i.e. tag soup et al)
Yes, he's correct that implementing some standards can be testing and that an overly pedantic approach to them can be debilitating (as one commenter points out in that article: they are "recommendations", not edicts). However, that doesn't mean that one should ditch them: the development of standards will, by definition, _always_ be in advance of practice. The idea is that one should always be working _towards_ the fullest possible implementation of relevant standards within the constraints of pragmatism ... for Tapestry, one of those standards _has_ to be XHTML because, in combination with other standards - such as CSS, it is the _only_ solution which offers the possibility of a consistent interface with the client-side - with the added benefit of a transparent incorporation of multi-format documents (e.g. XHTML + SVG + MathML etc) Whilst there is a degree of dissent about the relative merits of standards for client-side technologies at present (caused, in large part, by the failure of a certain leading browser manufacturer to propery implement them), this situation is only exacerbated by developer abandonment. As for Tapestry components that aren't able to produce valid XHTML ... they really should be able to by now and I think it's a bit weak that they don't. But, saying that, it is open source and you would be free to hack these components to produce the required XHTML.
