Sorry, that makes no sense.  Every HTML DTD already has defaults, and I 
don't
see anyone fetching the DTD in browsers.  The semantics are simply 
hard-coded.
That is the only reason why anyone would want an XHTML 2.0 -- because they
can pre-code the DTD and default stylesheet if it is a standard format.
Just define it in the spec as being defaulted.

XLink should have better defaulting as well, but that is a separate issue.
