Sorry about the long delay in replying - I was on vacation last week.
No, there is no XHTML equivalent for <marquee>. It's generally considered bad design to use it, or to duplicate it with Javascript. You could write a Javascript function I'm sure, but I'd recommend staying away from that effect if you can.

I never liked the marquee tag. It was not as customizable as I wanted it to be. Instead use Javascript, there are some neat examples with stopping the scrolling on MouseOver etc. But yeah, avoid marquee effects when you can, they are quite distracting.
