As long as we allow use of the HTML tags*, we should take them both with and without end tags. We should ideally produce valid XHTML from *any* given input. If the input is broken, we may not produce what the author intended, but we *must* produce something that will pass a validating parser.

If automatic conversion is not possible, we should make a conscious effort to fix anything that's broken.)
XHTML is not completely compatible with HTML, so making XHTML default may not be very friendly to some browsers.
Does anybody have experience with XHTML websites ? Are all browsers happy about that ?
