Why? What are the benefits? Strict is here just to push content/style 
separation, you can still use Transitional and gain effect of CSS styling.

Same element and attribute sets. What is the difference here (except 
possibility to use XML parser for XHTML)?

Simply because XHTML Stict + CSS don't have enough power. For example 
how would you map <orderedlist continuation="continues"> into XHTML 
Strict + CSS?

P.S. With no offense there is what I usualy say to people marketing 
XHTML Stict: "If you want to look like you are marking up semantics then 
use XHTML, but if you really want to markup up your semantic then go 
DocBook or other custom markup. Point."
