I think the best practice is to just write HTML like it was XHTML 
strict.. or at least transitional. That is, always end your tags, 
always end non-dual tags with /> and so on. I think making TM into an 
editor which manages all the standards for you is a mistake. There is 
the w3.org site for checking the standards, and I think it's best if 
the person knows about it, not the program.
