I assume you meant "mostly" as in "most of the pages are well-formed", not

I did a brief survey of obvious sites fitting those descriptions that I had
in my browser history at the moment. . . .
So either you're looking at a totally different dataset or "mostly" is a bit
of a stretch....
I admit I didn't look closely. At a guess, maybe the default
WordPress skin(s) are valid XHTML, but custom skins are very popular
for WordPress and those mostly aren't valid XHTML? MediaWiki is
unreasonably difficult to reskin, so that's not much of a problem for
us . . .
Even with the default skin it's easy to break (e.g., search for U+FFFF).
That'll be output to the page and make it not well-formed.
