For more about why not to use xhtml (yet) read:
http://hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml
This was written a few years ago but what it says is still true about
IE - you can't send the appopriate mime type (application/xhtml+xml)
and have IE interpret it as a web page. Works fine in Firefox, of
course. But breaking in IE means you have the choice between doing it
the right way (using the right mime type) and losing your IE visitors,
or doing the wrong thing and having both IE and FF interpret it as
"tag soup", as the author puts it.
