If you're going to take the XHTML plunge (which I heartily recommend), you may as well plunge as far as XHTML 1.1. The differences from XHTML 1.0 (Strict) are almost too minimal to worry about:

Peter, you are propably already aware of the fact that tclwebtest can run the validator 'tidy' on the result pages. I just saw this thread and added a -tidy switch to the tclwebtest commandline (in cvs).

Example output: 

tils@tp:~/tclwebtest$ ./tclwebtest -tidy selftest/select_many.test

----- START: selftest/select_many.test at [30/May/2003:21:20:52] -----
--- do_request for file://selftest/select_many.html
--- TIDY START                  ---
line 12 column 5 - Warning: <form> attribute "action" lacks value
line 28 column 6 - Warning: <form> attribute "action" lacks value
line 58 column 6 - Warning: <form> attribute "action" lacks value
--- TIDY FINISH. WARNINGS. URL: file://selftest/select_many.html ---
V: {second option} 1
----- SUCCESS: selftest/select_many.test (took 0s)               -----

DURATION: 0
tils@tp:~/tclwebtest$

If you're considering switching to XHTML, this may be worth your while reading. http://www.hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml
