The reason I left the XHTML markup in was eventually the goal was to convert the entire website to XHTML. The only issue with leaving them in while still in HTML4/Transitional is that the pages do not pass W3C validation. I am still willing to live with non-valid working HTML to save some work down the road.
XHTML is officially no longer developed - the future is HTML5, apparently.
