Well, they *could* be. The sad reality on the Internet though is that
present day web pages pretty much need to be (X)HTML if you want them to

render and/or behave even semi-reliably. And news organizations are
likely to care quite a lot about look and feel, not just content. Also,

with my XHTML hat on, I prefer that major media outlets use XHTML for
their web content ;-)
