I don't think I've ever actually read the standards and I've been doing this 12 or so years now. I just kind of picked up on what was considered kosher and what wasn't over time. And then when having a "XHTML STRICT" badge in your footer was all the rage, I learned a bit more by having to tweak my code to earn it. imo, there are a lot of different paths to being a good developer. Personally I find scouring over the standards or some dry reference site to be about the most painful way.

It is interesting that when XHTML was popular most people actually made and served HTML pages (with content type text/html) even if they had a XHTML doctype. That is why this standard was dead from the beginning. Though personally I like the idea of not displaying the page if there is any error in the code.
