_This_ is what I've been talking about. The real-world implementation
of xhtml is at best very incomplete and at worst, a mess. Support HTML
4.01, on the other hand is both broad and deep.

TYPO3 c. v. 3.6 could not output html compliant with _any_ modern
standard. Now, it supports one html standard very well, but the
standard it supports is itself the least well-supported of the two
main branches available. The decision to go with xhtml _only_ was,
IMO, ill-informed.
