Since choice of doctype may actually affect how we apply CSS, would you
be kind enough to go a little more in depth here?

A strong advice against the use of XHTML may make someone think there's
actually something wrong with a page like this:
<http://www.w3.org/International/>
...or even this:
<http://www.w3.org/>
(look at top of source)

I personally don't think so, but, of course, I know about the minor
differences between HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0, and how to use them to my
advantage. Others may not be so lucky.
