XHTML without the correct mime type is considered harmful, and with the correct mime type leads to endless complication with browsers showing and XML validation error in case someone somehow managed to not close a tag.

LFGSS:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

W3C:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/NOTE-xhtml-media-types-20020801/

HTML compatible XHTML 1.0 may be sent with the “text/html” mime type (note that this applies to 1.0 only, not 1.1 or anything which comes after).

Oh yeah... LFGSS is XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

Actually I only use transitional as some parts of the site (markup from the BBcode engine) I cannot guarantee, let alone things like the YouTube embed.

Most of the non-thread pages are already XHTML strict, but I leave them as transitional and v1.0 so that I don't have to change the mime-type on some pages and not others.

I do tend to know what I'm on about and this will be done the right way. With religion, arguing, finely honed pixel alignments, a nice design, etc.
