I'm up for starting a religious war!!

As I understand it, several Web developers no longer push for going to
XHTML - HTML 5 seems more the goal. Compliance with any of the standards
can be difficult, what with browser differences.

That is not to say to use old techniques - no - use DIVs for layout (use
tables for tabular data), use CSS, use a js framework, etc.

And I'm intrigued by grids in recent HTML for layout.

There, I've laid down the gauntlet - primarily about XHTML vs HTML 4 or
5 advances.

Then there are two things you really need to attend to - 1) generate
XHTML (i.e. HTML which is well-formed XML) and 2) how to add CSS
information so any web designer can sprinkle pixidust over without any
change to the XHTML.

Additionally the XHTML can be postprocessed if needed to add all kinds
of fancy stuff.
