All code of every web page should be validated. Any errors need to be corrected. If your typo is in a tag, then it could produce undesirable results.
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.
I pretty much agree, but, generally speaking, if a change to the markup is made on Friday, and it is somehow invalid, i'd rather have it "as is"
until the Monday validation than showing a terrible fatal error yellow screen to users during the weekend. And keep in mind than i'm thinking more about user submitted input, which is much more wild and frequent than any webpage lifecycle.
Anyhow, I'm a semantic and valid HTML freak, so i'm already converted :o) But, as I said, I don't really see the point of XHTML for general information delivery today.
