All modern browsers understand HTML, so what is the point of being XHTML compliant other then writing more characters found on the far right side of the keyboard.

There is no point that I can think of. The W3C has canceled XHTML 2.0, although there is supposed to be an XHTML5, which I guess is HTML5 for masochists. Originally XHTML was going to lead us into the world of “correct” HTML documents, but it generated as many (or more) problems than it ever solved.
We validate against either HTML 4.01 Transitional or HTML5 (to the degree that you can do that). That plus clean CSS gives you about the best you can shoot for.
