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.

XHTML 1.0 is essentially HTML as XML. Work on XHTML2 has stopped. HTML5 still supports the XML form (see http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/the-xhtml-syntax.html#the-xhtml-syntax) which supports XML namespaces (e.g. for MathML or SVG inline markup).

I'm happy to see the more strict XHTML die. I preferred the looser flow of HTML4 anyway.
