As a general question, simply to satisfy my curiosity, I would like to ask if Mediawiki/Wikpedia could be XHTML 1.0 Strict (or even XHTML 1.1) compliant in the next years and what issues must be addressed to accomplish this.
We currently have no plans for this, no.
Should it one day be required, the HTML sanitizer class would probably be updated to do some conversion (eg, from <b> to <strong> or <span class="bold-but-not-strong-because-strong-implies-semantic-meaning-which-we-cannot-infer">).
It also requires that we drop all forwards compatibility, for instance with HTML 5.
