I think no one is claiming that there's no need to distinguish XHTML2 and XHTML 1.x (and others), or against content negotiation. Opinions differ whether media type is an appropriate/efficient way of doing that. I tend to think it's not, and I'm not claiming that the profile parameter is a better way, either. With increasingly heterogeneous nature of XHTML2, we desperately need a better way, and this is not at all an XHTML-specific problem. XML as a whole needs a solution, as Ian rightly pointed out. That said, if nothing happens by the time XHTML2 becomes mature, we might end up registering a new media type, but I would say that's a last resort.
