The reason I left the XHTML markup in was eventually the goal was to convert
the entire website to XHTML. The only issue with leaving them in while still
in HTML4/Transitional is that the pages do not pass W3C validation. I am
still willing to live with non-valid working HTML to save some work down the
road.
XHTML is officially no longer developed - the future is HTML5, apparently.
XHTML 1.0 is essentially HTML as XML. Work on XHTML2 has stopped.
HTML5 still supports the XML form (see
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/the-xhtml-syntax.html#the-xhtml-syntax)
which supports XML namespaces (e.g. for MathML or SVG inline markup).
I'm happy to see the more strict XHTML die. I preferred the looser flow
of HTML4 anyway.
