I know that the protocol is implemented in Gajim and Psi. Both of them
have some little problems but both are ready to use, from my point of
view. For example, Psi doesn't support <img/> with external images links
and doesn't support HTML-IM input, only rendering of incoming messages.
Gajim has basic support of composing and good rendering quality, I
posted some tickets about it and they were fixed immediately.

Also, XHTML-IM supported in tkabber, but it's implemented in the way
that makes it better to switch it off. (maybe it was fixed, I don't
know) and pidgin has the worst support of XHTML-IM: it always renders
the message in one line even if it has paragraphs or lists or any other
block element.

I use the XEP-0071 in my microblogging, can attach some screenshots:

Why don't we have a possibility to use the <del> HTML tag? The other
things I will describe in an answer to Mathieu Pasquet.
