The problem with xhtml vs HTML, is that it encouraged hyper-anal markup. Scary-looking all caps tag displays, that hid your content behind a specialized graphical gui.
But when you make it simpler to write ( like automatically converting double line breaks to <p>s and single to <br>s, to take out even more of the drudgery --- when you give people fewer choices about how things look, it frees them up to just write. That's why people love Word, it looks good to them.
But Word was designed in the 80s.
We have to design for 2030 to beat Word.
CSS is the way and the light of web design. Even if we have to give everyone a free copy of Mozilla on CD.
Which I hereby suggest.
