I don't know that there would be any other benefits; all this would get
us is a web site that validates.  Perhaps someone else more familiar with
the tools available could offer a suggestion, but in my opinion XHTML, by
it's very nature, is lacking most of the benefits of XML anyway.

[  Having said that, having XHTML documents that validate would be more useful
   than having ones that don't ;)  ]

That's a fair point; since there's still work to be done before this can
work properly anyway, I'll background it for now, but at some point I'd like
to revisit this (ever since I noticed this it's been bugging me).
