It will definitively introduce new elements over the time as XHTML5 is just XML
based serialization of HTML5 content.

Why you need to differentiate between those two? What's the use-case?

Also please note that many constraints posed on HTML5 (and thus on XHTML5)
can't be checked by grammar based schema languages. For better validation I
would suggest using vnu tool:
