That's a great tip, IMO.

It is also more XML-friendly than HTML.

Others have mentioned the small font. This is what happens when it is made
bigger:

Do you think that this testpage would address most, if not all, of the
issues raised above?

It's more than a fad.

Serving XHTML as HTML as the OP is doing serves no purpose at all.

It requires an equally "complex" parser because:
1) It's served and thus rendered as HTML.
2) For practical purposes XHTML 1.0 Strict is as "strict" as HTML 4.01
Strict.

Some devices cannot afford to have a fully blown quirks-mode parser.
This is an important point, especially if talking about accessibility.

Irrelevant, again: it's served and parsed as HTML.

Perhaps that's what you should've pointed that out to the OP, rather
than declaring XHTML as a 'fad'.

Some, perhaps. The page organization is questionable (look at it with
stylesheets disabled), your heading levels don't really make sense, and
you are still apparently depending on a particular font and/or window
size to get a desired layout. You should test more with enlarged text
sizes, in various window sizes, in browsers other than WinIE.
