XHTML is a good universal standard that means developers can interchange code without having to spend more time to process the badly written markup.

But each to their own I guess.
Not 1 thing you said is correct.

More reliable? False.
Stricter? False.
Better written? False.

XHTML is more reliable? Oh really, so my HTML is just going to one day just magically stop working while XHTML continues to keep working? Hardly.

Stricter syntax? No, different, not stricter.

Badly written markup? So if it's XHTML it's written well, and if it's HTML its therefore written bad? Please.

But hey, someones gotta live in fairyland.
