HTML validation vs. XHTML

Hi All,

I have a question regarding validation with XHTML on ASP.Net websites.
Our site is built on ASP.NET 2.0 with validation XHTML. Search Engine
Optimizer advised us that we should change it to HTML because it causes
problems.

We can switch it to HTML validation in production only:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

But what is going to happen with out controls and will it do harm to our
website? Will we lose important features of controls and so on...?

There is no problem for us to create pages with XHTML validation and only in
production switch it to HTML, will that work or there is a compromise?

Thank you,
Tatyana

Well, I can't say for sure without seeing the page, but I don't think
that changing from XHTML to HTML will hurt your page at all.
