XHTML 1.0 pages has no problems with displaying when sent as text/html 
and they are better served as text/html because stupid IE won't show it 
right when you set mime type to application/xhtml+xml. So if you 
consider this as problem then you have valid reason to not use XHTML 
otherwise there are no reasons to use HTML 4.01 instead XHTML.

And that article basically says it's bad to use XHTML because when you 
write non valid XHTML it does not show right - it's like when you write 
bad C code and it does not compile and you blame C for it.
Author is wrong in some of its claims but this ML is not about web 
standards so I won't elaborate it here.

Note:
I might sound bit harsh but thats just because web pages is what I am 
doing and that article is plain nonsense.

Oh and btw postgresql.org uses XHTML 1.0 ...
