| PageSpeed messes up XHTML code

The PageSpeed tool included with Firebug is quite helpful. I found one serious flaw however: the MINIFY HTML suggestion. They give this suggestion for most pages also providing the so called improved version of a page (white spaces removed and so on). I used the "improved" code for 3 of my pages. Then I had to work 2 hours to get my pages back. Here's why: this tool doesn't seem to differentiate between html versions, thus removing all closing tags that are mandatory in XHTML (with proper DOCTYPE in place), all quote marks (<a href="etc"> becomes <a href=etc>), and other changes resulting in over 1000 validation errors for each of these 3 pages.

Thanks for the heads up!
I haven't played with PageSpeed for a while, but isn't there a way to define which optimizations are allowed when squeezing the code?

No options, they just give you the altered version. In fact it seems that they are aware of this issue: [code.google.com...]
