Lose the XHTML and use HTML 4.01 Strict.

* It's not XHTML anyway, it's Appendix C XHTML. This is different.

* The page is full of obsolete bogosities. The last thing it needs is
to get involved with XHTML too.

* If you read / search this ng / c.i.w.a.h / any competent
contemporary resource, blog or book, then you'll see why XHTML is a
red herring. It's not actively wrong to use it, but it's more compelx
than you realise and less useful than you realise. On the whole it's
best avoided. As you've already noted, it's pretty good at catching
out the unwary.
