Yes, ePub is based on XHTL 1.1, which is why I taught myself to do markup in this format.
Mobipocket however is definitely not compliant to W3C standards in several ways. This morning I ran the book I'm working on based on a valid XHTML 1.1 template through Mobipocket Creator. Although I got the damn TOC working some of the results in the body of the text were very disappointing.
I refuse to dumb down my markup to Mobipocket's idiosyncratic and limited HTML level. So I'll wait until my ECO reader arrives in a few days and concentrate on ePub. Back to the drawing board.
