I haven't heard of XHTML for years. And what I heard
then, the W3C disencouraged the use of it in favor
of HTML5.

Also, how would one benefit from on-the-fly
validation? Isn't it just static documents like plain
HTML? I think it is better to validate once, when
done. More mindful, and besides - don't you have to
really stink to do errors all the time *with HTML*?!

As always, just because it is possible, question
remains, is it also a good idea?

For HTML, I use validate(1), the "Offline HTMLHelp.com
Validator", which is in the Debian repos pack
wdg-html-validator. Worth checking out!
