I ran a cross a man in the street the other day who told me just the 
opposite ;-)

Seriously, if you to use an argument like this you need to cite the 
article, or at the very least summarise its arguments.

XHTML is simply a minimal reformulation of HTML in XML, and even uses 
the HTML 4.01 definitions for its semantics. Given that, it's hard to 
see why it should be considered a bad thing.
