If we ever start producing xhtml, I'll add

The current skins (see

content pages validate as such.
One caveat: the page also has to be served with an XML content-type or
Mozilla ignores the MathML tags. This leads to a much stricter
requirement for output to be well-formed, since any error will prevent
the page from being viewable.
We're improving in this regard, but user-supplied HTML isn't always
well-formed, and problems aren't always corrected automatically. If we
serve pages as XML, we *must* ensure that all possible output is
well-formed so that non-experts can see the page, follow the link back
to the edit page, etc. I'm not sure to what degree the output has to
validate...
