That sounds like nonsense as XHTML is an XML application so XHTML is XML 
already.
The W3C wanted to replace HTML with XHTML by starting with XHTML 1.0 and 
allowing it to be authored and served backwards compatible with HTML 
browsers to move on to XHTML 1.1, mixed namespace XML documents with 
XHTML and/or MathML and/or SVG to (finally?) arrive at XHTML 2.0 and 
XForms (and/or MathML and/or SVG).
But IE 7 is just out and still does not render XHTML 1.0 served as 
application/xhtml+xml. And even browser producers like Mozilla or Opera 
that for quite a while now have browsers that support treating XHTML as 
XML by parsing with an XML parser are trying to move "backwards" 
(compared to the above way the W3C envisioned) to "HTML 5" as an 
improvement of HTML 4.01 (e.g. improving HTML forms instead of replacing 
with XForms). See <http://www.whatwg.org>.
