If you use the 10 lines of re-usable code that I suggested in your XSLT, one 
does not need to "worry" - you have XML in and you have XML out.

It depends on your requirements - right? If you are doing a batch process and 
you plan to store the output before serving it, you would want to store it in a 
parsable form that can be served as is or further processed by other XML 
technologies.

Can I assume that you agree that XHTML 1.0 was designed to be backwards 
compatible to HTML 4 if written to compatibility guidelines?
