[UPHPU] Smarty's playing with my mind... and my end tags

Actually it's just the opposite.  XHTML is a bridge between XML and HTML 
- and XML requires closure for all tags.  XHTML requires a close for 
/all/ tags.  If anything, an xhtml strict dtd should /add/ a close tag 
or self-close where one does not exist.
