That situation appears to have changed during the two years
following that article's publication:
Macromedia's Dreamweaver MX apparently includes the capability to
author and validate XHTML pages, and even has a feature that converts
HTML documents to XHTML:
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/dreamweaver/articles/code_standards.html
Adobe's GoLive 6.0 is also said to include XHTML support.
Some users of both applications have reported some glitches in
authoring and/or validating XHTML, however. As one example, in at
least one of these applications, certain keystrokes were said to
insert HTML -- rather than XHTML -- break tags.
