I think to really do that right, you have to know the ins and outs of 
programming their VTM files (which I don't).  (If that's even enough.)

There are some basic things a user can do though to help get close to XHTML 
(assuming HS 4.5, all under Options/Settings):

HTML: select lowercase all inserted tags, include closing </p> when 
inserting paragraph tag, set the Center button to use div align="center"

Editor/Tag Completion: turn it on and make sure that tags that must be 
closed are in the list.

HS 4.5 also integrates HTML Tidy, which can convert HTML to XHTML.

Those things aren't much, but I find they go a long way to saving me time 
in coding.
