  Please report bugs, if any, thanks.

The basic rules that differentiate XHTML from HTML are as follow:

XHTML documents must have the Document Type Declaration (!DOCTYPE) as first root element.
XHTML documents must have the <html> root element.
XHTML elements must be properly nested.
All XHTML elements must be closed.
All attributes must have a value.
Attribute values must be (single or double) quoted.
Tag and attribute names must be in lowercase.
The id attribute must be together or replace the name attribute.
Special characters and symbols must be encoded as HTML entities (included ampersand & as &).
