And the length of your email would have decreased a lot if you hadn't
duplicated that paragraph ;) (Sorry, couldn't withstand)
But indeed, I don't think that the benefits of converting the pages to
XHTML is worth the effort needed. We should try to keep
an eye on new pages, though, to make the situation not much worse. New
pages should always be valid HTML strict and valid XHTML, if possible
(wml takes care of removing /> endings of empty tags, so there is no
excuse not to use them).
