How right you are - XHTML 1.0 Strict it is.

Notwithstanding the 'potential' problems with sending xhtml as text/html 
- see: http://www.hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml (or google for similar 
documents) - the idea is to encourage the creation of valid markup - and 
have all markup passed through a validator first (which eliminates the 
'real' problems).

On that note - it might be a good idea to include links to pages like: 
http://www.hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml part of the best practices documentation.
