 worry about their site outputting valid xhtml code.

 the feature used is called CSS and it is used in a thousand themes.
 especially the current theme projects (modular theming solutions,
 frameworks etc.) are heavily using CSS class names.

 this is _not_ about valid xhtml code.

 this is about having slugs of posts as css classes properly utf-8 encoded.
 so if your language is not within the ascii 7bit range you can properly
 use semantic CSS files. that is mostly important for languages beyond
 latin-1. infact, latin-1 languages are really degraded in that case by
 wordpress.

 because your decision is based on misleading stuff (seldom use, xhtml
 validity), i reverted it.
