Browsers had a hard time with those stricter rules, so HTML’s more relaxed approach stuck around. For some time I really tried to use XHTML when createing weh pages, but then I asked my self why all of the trouble when browsers don't follow the standards.

I have issues when companies don't support vertical/horizontal movement among the teams. It is in human nature to develop different interests.
