Thanks JG and Peter. Those info did help lift the fog :)
Now I just need to convince my freelance boss to convince his client which happens to be a design house to convince their client about the pro and cons of using XHTML Strict DTD. Just hope the message will not get messed up down the line. From the corresponding emails I have seen, the client is one that is very sure of his judgements (even provided few web links and articles..A list apart was one of them) so well...it is going to be a challenge to make him understand because he feels that he has all the relevant info which some aren't actually. And if all else fails..I guess I better prepare myself in advance now and start building a test site using xhtml strict.
With Regards,
Jaime Wong
