Yeah. Mark Pilgrim's overview of the sordid history of XHTML is useful background: http://diveintohtml5.info/past.html

Can we not just jump into making this a HTML5 vs. XHTML topic?

Because if you want to make this HTML5 vs. XHTML '<div>' is NOT valid HTML5.

If you don't like the XHTML-ish shortcut that jQuery provides, then our coding conventions should be to use `$( '<div></div>' );`.

Either way $( '<div>' ) is NOT something officially supported by jQuery and makes it easy for developers to accidentally write broken code.
