I understand modularization (in the context of XHTML) to be the breaking
up XHTML into a number of modules - tables, lists, block text features,
scripts and so on.

I understand "XHTML inside another document" to be something different,
and is illustrated by the MathML example in the proposal. As with any
mixing of vocabularies in a document, it requires a namespace for each
vocabulary. XHTML 1.0 *is* intended to address that, although through no
fault of its own, it cannot create combined documents that can be
validated.
