My point is that the syntactic variation between xml and html4 and html5 are not really so interesting/important here, (so polyglot or not isn't so important either). The point (As Richard Ishida made using some other examples) is what structural elements do we want to allow and, related, what browsers do we want to support. If there is a requirement to support browsers that don't do mathml or svg or canvas or dir=auto or.... then we need to omit those features (or specify exactly how fallback is supposed to work) for normative documents. The question about whether to use xml or html5 syntax for the features that are allowed may come up, but it is less important as it's fairly trivial for anyone processing a document to serialise an html document as xml or an xml document as html, but if examples are in mathml or canvas or assume full bidi processing, then the document is pretty hard to read using a browser without those features.
