The main thing is, that if parsed correctly by HTML parser XTHML would even "produce" more data, or to say it more exact, browsers would show more. I mean an extra ">" popping up for every <br /> and <img .../>. Those compatibility guidelines rely solely on browsers failing to implement SHORTTAG in correct way. Now, of course, is to late for that, but see screenshot here: http://annevankesteren.nl/2005/11/xhtml-advocates.
