This raises another issue: It would be very handy if the validator could
check XHTML 1.0 documents for conformance with those compatibility
guidelines. I know that is strictly and technically not a validation
task, but from a practical viewpoint it would be a great help indeed.

For XHTML 1.0 docs served as "text/html" conformance with those
guidelines can be much more important than actual validity.

Just a thought...
