I found that it was hard to have valid html with the strict dtd, instead
in texi2html Transitional is used:
$DOCTYPE = '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/loose.dtd";>';
In texi2html had a plan to do an init file for strict xhtml (or maybe
strict html) but never got around to do it. It would need much more
css. That being said this would certainly be trivial to do on a coding
point of view, but a css knowledge is needed. Also I would like to
rework the css support in texi2html, to be more compatible with what
makeinfo currently do, and to enhance (and fix) css, but after the
merge. Currently info output is way higher on my list (and progressing
rather neatly).

Agreed. I think that the texinfo to html software should keep output
as much as possible like the .texi document was written, and let pretty
printing to other tools.
