I just did a quick google search (for: xhtml advantages) and came up
with sites like this one:
http://www.digital-web.com/tutorials/tutorial_2001-3.shtml Most mention
delivering content to non-desktop platforms. Later in the article is a
section called "When to XHTML, When to Punt" which may also answer your
question.
We use the xhtml xsls so we can run xsls on the output (e.g. checking
for images used).
