I thought of a little carrot that might help improve the HTML developer

manner with using x.509 based PKI, browsers could inform users they can
trust the content of the page. 


Doug,

What makes you think that your suggestion would improve acceptance of XHTML?

What is your analysis of the barriers/discouragements operate for a "typical" HTML developer even contemplating adopting XHTML? How does your suggestion help the vast majority of HTML developers who exist in a world outside XML geekdom?

I spend most of my time with XML but, to be frank, fail to see the "carrot" in your suggestion for a typical HTML developer.
