Is it possible to configure FrontPage 2003 globally to use xhtml mark-up
rather than having to "Apply XML Formatting Rules" to each individual page?
 
Unfortunately no

Just thinking ahead and future-proofing my work, xhtml being the successor
to html.
 
But the problem is that the XHTML doctype is not recognized by IE6 yet. And
by using XHTML you are actually ADDING code weight to the page, with no
corresponding benefit compared to regular HTML4.01 Strict or Transitional.
Besides XHTML1.1 is already obsolete with the work being done on XHTML2
(standby - it'll be finished in a decade or two!), and the two will be so
different that recoding is likely necessary anyhow.

Also, read this -

I don't think there is any future-proofing advantage for you.
