The why define XHTML 2.0 at all? Why not just use raw XML? If there's
no predefined meaning for semantics or behavior for particular
elements or attributes, then just what are we getting out of XHTML at
all that doesn't exist now in XML?
(Oh, and DTDs don't have to be hardwired. They just can be as a
performance optimization. You want i use a different one, go ahead,
but the browser may have to load it. )
