There are very few websites where xhtml is served with a proper MIME type. MIME type triggers xml parsing mode in browsers, so in most cases xhtml is treated exatly as deserved: just a tag soup.

Yea but I've been using haml for quite a while to generate markup. XML is horribly inefficient by comparison and prone to mistakes.
