We should all make sure our code on every web page we create has no errors, whether simple typos or forgotten closing tags; whether we use HTML or XHTML.
If you live by this standard, then XHTML is a viable coding option.

Again, higly subjective: it's neat for marchine-parsing but IMHO it's overkill to learn that you've made a teenyweeny mistake in your blog post markup by watching the bloody thing crash before your eyes
Yet with each crash and burn of your blog and each little mistake you fix the more and more aware of those little mistakes you become and the cleaner your code becomes.
Sure it's a pain when you forget a simple bit of markup but more often than not it's easily fixed.
Often, markup errors, like natural language errors, are most likely typos than anything else. Therefore, i don't really learn anything from them and they are just a PITAs
I see your point, of course and i still think it's a matter of specific scenarios + personal taste
