You've just listed 5 reasons why XHTML doesn't work on today's web. All XHTML should be delivered as application/xhtml+xml, with different levels of how highly recommended it is. XHTML 1.1 as text/html breaks the rules as much as XHTML + Appendix C as text/html, and has the benefit that it's easily extensible. The guidelines say that XHTML 1.1 should be served as application/xhtml+xml unless there are valid reasons not to. IE is a valid reason not to on today's web, and likely to be for a long time yet.
