Really? JavaScript for such an easy thing? I fully agree with Steffen
and Lars here.

XHTML is going to die. Why use a standard which has almost no relevance
in practical experience[1].

I would use HTML5 doctype, if I'd go for something new. I'm pretty sure
this will be the defacto standard in the (not so far away) future.
Additionally XHTML strict markup perfectly validates with a HTML5
doctype plus we could use some fancy additional features (like target
attributes in links).

just my 2 cents
