When are you gonna upgrade to xhtml ^_^ all you need to do for your site is use lowercase tags and close empty tags properly :D

Why should he? There's no reason to. He wouldn't gain anything by doing so (his site is fine with HTML) and it wouldn't work on most browsers.
Also, technically XHTML while a W3C standard is not a web standard (yet).

What? I think you're confusing XHTML with XML there, bud. XHTML has been the standard for 5 or 6 years now.

Oops, I was thinking of XHTML 2. Sorry.
However, since Ken most likely won't use the XML specific stuff in XHTML so he'd essentially just be using strict HTML and that all browsers already handle HTML I don't see nay reason for him to switch.

And there is no content that would benefit in any way from it. Stick to what you need - not what you are able to do.

The lower case chars and adding some extra slashes in singular HTML tags is pretty much the only thing to make HTML XHTML.
Also I don't think I know any browser that doesn't handle XHTML properly.
If it doesn't, it's not programmed correctly, because I'm pretty sure "extra" things like that, that a browser doesn't understand should just be ignored instead.
Unless you want your site to be XML compatible, it's no use of course.
I'm sure there are cases when having the ability to use an XML editor on your HTML is useful though.
I changed all my HTML into XHTML just because it was easy, but it didn't really add anything, except that now I can say it's up-to-date. :)

Technically, MS Internet Explorer doesn't.

That's just XML.

IE is unable to process xhtml. On the other side only 0.1% of sites is supplying xhtml strict as it should be served: application/xhtml ( I think mime is). On such mime IE will completely die.

Well, another bug in IE then.
I have some (basic HTML) according to documents with the xhtml1-transitional DTD, and IE doesn't seem to choke on anything at least.
It displays images (using IMG) with the extra slash just fine for instance.
I suppose I should look up the differences between strict and transitional, maybe there's more than I thought.
