migrate to XHTML
I'm not sure but I think I want to try to migrate to XHTML 2.0. Does anyone know of any analytical tools that look at your existing HTML code and tell you what is not compliant with that standard, making specific recommendations on how to make it compliant?
Given how much content I have to update, doing this by hand is out of the question. I need to write a program to parse my files and generate new copies for me.

I would stick to 1.0. XHTML 2.0 is very bleeding-edge technology; at the rate web standards move, you won't see great support for that until well into 2050 
Ye beloved W3C Validator is probably the best analytical tool out there for picking out bad spots in your code. After that, you might have to do a bunch of Find/Replace's in Dreamweaver (across many files, of course) to tweak your code batch-style. Using server-side includes might make this job easier, too.
Best of luck! Glad you're making the switch, we'll be happy to help more.

XHTML 2.0 is so drastically different from any of it's predecessors (and upcoming HTML 5)... you'd have to rethink your entire approach, in addition to code, to make proper use of it. But like Sparky says, no need to stress over it for a while (no browser support) but do check it out for academic purposes.
