The best way to cater to the visually impaired is to write standards complient code (xhtml strict/1.1 being best)...

I think you may be mistaken. I'm not aware of any accessibility issues related to use of html/transitional instead of xhtml strict. I'm not aware of any relating to standards uncompliant code.

According to the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB), the most popular browser amongst blind users is Internet Explorer 5.x (just like the rest of us :) ), with the Jaws screen reader.

Is there any evidence that standards compliant xhtml strict is more accessible than uncompliant html for current assistive technologies?

BTW: I'm a passionate accessibility advocate. I'm just really worried that folks increasingly assume that xhtml + css = accessibility.
