Compared to what? Compared to serving XHTML 1.0 as text//html, it is
a positive disadvantage for IE (it fails) and is a server-side
nuisance for doing it "properly" with other browsers, yet still has no
concrete advantage.

Compared to HTML (i.e. switching between "best practice" HTML and
"best practice" XHTML), again it's some complexity for no discernible
purpose.

There just isn't any _point_ to XHTML on the web.
