But that means we are still stuck with a mixed bag of 
rules for parsing documents, and even simple cases 
show where that can create problems.

XHTML aside, if one has a namespaced application 
inside an HTML document, it's vendors' choice. 
Yes, we can cope.  Should we?  I didn't find my 
bug until I tried to add a new feature.  Had this 
been after the files had been distributed to 
customers, that wouldn't have been a good day.

What does <?xml warrant?

Warranties from standards without conformance 
tests are the same as a marriage contract: easy 
to extend but impossible to refund.  Do all 
preventive maintenance on schedule to prevent 
breakdowns on lonely roads.

Joshua is right, XHTML was a stopgap. Many have confused the means to an
end to the end itself.
