Hmmm we do not know the same it seems ;)
1. Many of the web developers and web designers I know have been
promoting XHTML 1.0 Strict.
2. Many of the teachers I know have been promoting XHTML 1.0 Strict
(easier to teach).
3. I know *some* vocal bloggers who are doing Web development
promoting HTML 4.01 Strict.
We have always to be careful of our own community shadows.
> What right do you have to speak for web developers?
Before you ask me the question too ;) I have been teaching and
working in Web design agencies.
Nobody has the right to speak for others (except when mandated). We
can only point to materials (blog posts, forums, mails, …).

If we talk about authors in the general sense of it. Most of them
don't know HTML at all.
