For me, who routinely generates markup programmatically, one of the 
most significant advantages of using XHTML is the rigorousness of the 
automated validators which point out missing close-tags, etc.

In my work, malformed markup indicates bugs in the markup-generating 
logic. I rely on the W3C validator as my proofreading buddy. I cannot 
get that same rigor from the validation of HTML in which, for 
example, element closures are often optional.
