Basically, it's just good HTML, with all tags balanced (start and end both)
written in lower case, and with a / at the end of each empty tag.
But it means that clean, small XML parsers can interpret it correctly, not
just browsers.

If anyone is messing with existing HTML, I strongly recommend the use of
HTML Tidy, a highly portable command line program (there's a Java version
as well as the canonical C one).  It fixes up junk HTML, even the abortions
produced by M$ products.  And it can make XHMTL with the -xml switch.
