I think this has already been discussed on www-html, I encourage you  
to read the thread starting at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-html/2004Jul/thread.html#6

There's also a reference in the thread to
http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/2004/xhtml-faq#whyxhtml2

Be sure to read every emails in the thread, I think Paul Crowley had  
the same questions than you.

That is definitely a question you should ask to the HTML WG. An error  
mechanism is always good, but it's not the task of public-evangelist  
to define such mechanism.

Though, you are in accordance with what the QA WG recommend in QA  
Framework Specification Guidelines:
     http://www.w3.org/TR/qaframe-spec/#error

There are something for such things in the last WD of XHTML 2.0
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/conformance.html#s_conform_user_agent
     Point 4. to 8.

If you think, it's not enough, you should really send an email to the  
HTML WG at www-html-editor@w3.org .

I have in plan to do a _deep_ review of XHTML 2.0 when the last call  
is published, I will be happy to read your comments about it, not on  
public evangelist which is not here for that. Though on public  
evangelist, participants could try to give opinions how to improve  
the educational part of the specification.


Best.
