Simon,
interesting question but not sure if the answer is that straightforward. Most
of the books available and the practices deployed in Web agencies right now are
around XHTML 1.0.
Validating the document as XHTML 5 will create more errors than XHTML 1.0.
There are things which are not allowed by XHTML 5 such as "meta http-equiv". If
we validate with something which creates more errors, we are likely to
discourage people.
Plus html5 is a moving target which makes it difficult for web agencies having
a contractual engagement with a customer. There's a need of a stability when
validity is one of the requirements of the contract. That's the social part of
validation.
