As many of you may know, the HTML 4.01 transitional is outdated and the current standards are XHTML 1.0 and XHTML 2.0 isn't even the same, and in fact shouldn't even be XHTML at all because it follows a whole different set of rules.

Did you know that SE's take the validation of your pages more serious than many webmasters do? The spiders look at a valid page as being relevant and the publisher takes care in the writing of said pages. They get recognized believe it.

With that said, I have been trying to work myself into the whole XHTML bit, and getting away from the whole HTML 4.01 altogether. I have been working towards making all my new pages Valid XHTML 1.0 markup. I have found that many sponsors link codes throw up several red flags when validating these pages. (I have not tested the NATS encoded URLs yet, but I am willing to bet they will pass, as opposed to all the a=12345&s=abcd type link codes.

When are we as webmasters going to get into the groove? They are about to extend the XHTML markup to the real 2.0 and over 75% of the webpages DEVELOPED today still use HTML 4.01 (which is perfectly fine, it is not going anywhere)

What are your views? Do you think it even matters? If yes, why? If no, why?

This should get interesting.
