I don't believe that XHTML 2 is aimed at the commercial web site
market.  If it were, it ought to have a specific element for 
advertisements [A].   I think it is aimed at the intra- and extra-net
markets and particularly for the sort of company that is based on
knowledge which is not finely structured in the way that a sales
catalogue is structured.

I think when people given the limited time they have for the project,
think it is well structured and self consistent.  Although I imagine
it will become a CV must-have item, it may well not belong on many
of those CVs.

[A] the advertisers may object to this because it makes it easy to
mechanically delete the adverts, but, otherwise, advertising isn't
consistent with a language which has correct, if simple, represenation
of structure as a goal, as it is striving to break the structure to
prevent its being ignored.
