XHTML 1.0 is worth caring about, and it is case sensitive. Also it would 
be a good idea to plan ahead as new standards emerge, instead of just 
saying there is nothing worth using yet. I have found XHTML to be much 
cleaner, and it has good support in all recent browsers.

The pages I recently designed for my research group are all valid XHTML 
1.0 strict, using CSS for virtually all layout. They render well in MSIE 
6, Mozilla 1.7, Firefox 0.9 and Konqueror. MSIE is the only one that 
screws up a little - and this is without any individual browser tuning 
at all.

I think XHTML is well worth the effort, and would encourage others to 
use it.
