HTML 4.01 is also a current W3C recommendation, and has the advantage of
being renderable in current user agents, and servable as text/html without
having to go through a whole raft of "compatibility guidelines" that
aren't machine testable (yet?)

If your authoring tool can't create valid HTML, why is HTML 4 any more use
than XHTML 1?

If XHTML 1 has been _the_ current W3C recommendation - what is the status
of XHTML 1.1?
