If I was starting from scratch and I knew what I know now I would
probably have used just HTML, but I really don't have time to go over
all my markup and get rid of all the XHTML stuff. When embarking on
web design I read books which convinced me to use XHTML. Would it be
acceptable to use the Strict XHTML 1.1 DTD?

Is there an accepted problem with XHTML strict, or is it just a
preference by some to stick with HTML.4.1 because they see little
tangible benefit with XHTML?

I've learnt that lesson. It's ridiculous that Dreamweaver 8 can't
perform such a simple task though.
