I commonly use HTML 4.01 and my syntax is just as strict as XHTML 1.1.
HTML 4.01 doesn't -force- you to use stricter syntax, but you can all
the same.

Though, I have seen people sniffing out browsers and using server
side scripting to change the doctype. XHTML 1.1 to browsers than
supports it, and XHTML 1.0 with the html mime to older browsers.
Which is meaningless since the document effectivly is XHTML 1.0.
Maybe, but coding in xhtml1.1 makes you MUCH more fussy about syntax
etc. and it shows up any 'well formed' errors as soon as you browse.
So, whilst the user will know nothing about all this, it makes you as
a designer get lots of practice in using the stricter syntax, ready
for some day in the future when you will need it.
Maybe :-)
