While not yet convinced about removing "XHTML", I very much support Sam’s idea
of adjusting the scope of the spec.

However, we should look wider than the robustness principle/Postel’s law
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robustness_principle

Other relevant principles could be

* Redundancy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundancy_(engineering)
* Fault tolerance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_tolerance

For instance, redundancy considerations could be a reason to recommend to have
more than one failure point when it comes to setting the encoding.

Another example is the DOCTYPE: It is of no use in XHTML, but the risk that
XHML is consumed as text/html is so high that it is a good idea to include it
even in pure XHTML documents.
