    I'm just reading "Designing with web standards" by Jeffrey Zeldman and I have to say it's must read for web developers out there. If you're not sold on xhtml, css etc. then read it.
    I'm planning a redesign of our site for xhtml strict and as a .net developer I'm working on getting asp.net to render valid xhtml, not an easy task I can assure you.
    asp.net renders a name attribute in it's form tag, does not render form elements in a proper block element (xhtml strict requires the elements of form to be nested in a <div> or <p> for example), uses the language attribute in javascript declarations (not allowed in xhtml strict) oh the lovely vs.net reformats your html whether you like it or not. Try putting a closing tag in an <img> and go to design view and back to html view and lo your closing /> is back to >.
