Serving XHTML is often misunderstood by PHP developers. Frontend engineers simply include the XHTML doctype to their documents, without actually serving document as XHTML. This triggers majority of the browsers to treat such pages as “tag-soup”.
If you really care for faster XHTML rendering, you can get its benefit by using content negotiation, thanks to the new controller plugin we have for you.
You should note, however, that your pages should be XHTML compliant and validate against XHTML validators like our own XHTML validator. Otherwise, XHTML supporting browsers will only display errors instead of actual content! If you are sure that your frontend designer is a good XHTML writer, then you should be safe (still, it never hurts to validate first).
