I have temporarily put a a xhtml 1.1 version of the ubuntuguide on my web space:
   http://www3.telus.net/robitaille/guide/

According to http://validator.w3.org/  is is a valid xhtml1.1
document. (and if you are wondering: a xhtml 1.1 document should be
very similar to a xhtml1.0 strict document)

Essentially I had to change 3 files from the original online guide:

http://www3.telus.net/robitaille/guide/index.html
http://www3.telus.net/robitaille/guide/style.css
http://www3.telus.net/robitaille/guide/print.css

The changes very pretty minimal in scope; it was a very well written
xhtml page to start with, which made the transition  to a xhtml strict
version relatively easy to do.

hopefully that will solve the problems with the conversion to .pot
