Putting the XHTML DOCTYPE at the top of a page is meaningless and
does not make that page XHTML, but that’s the extent to which
CMSs generally “support” XHTML. All every last one of them pushes
tagsoup, even those that disingeniously label it “XHTML”.

Yes, and to make it XHTML 1.0 compliant you have to do even more
work. Out of the box, Wordpress produces tagsoup.
