(Sorry for previous blank email)

XHTML is preferable to HTML for many people because tools for XML are
stable and mature. Even HTML 5 is permitted to be serialized as XHTML
(meaning you close tags that do not technically need to be closed, you
self-close certain tags, etc). If we move to HTML 5 there is definite
value to making sure it is XHTML compatible.
