I have been using html 4.01 transitional on my sites and have slowly branched out to xhtml. However, I remember that there has been some discussion on other lists about the 'dangers' of using xhtml.

I know of no dangers with html 4.01 reformulated to proper
backwards-compatible xhtml 1.0 served as text/html. That is; apart from
the permanent discussion about whether or not xhtml 1.0 should be served
as text/html at all, or we should stick to html 4.01 until _all_
browsers can handle anything but text/html and avoid the whole discussion.

How you serve xhtml 1.0 will give you different results on a few points
in browsers that can handle anything but text/html, and break the entire
rendering in those that don't.
