Typical reasons including needing (or wanting) to include some boiler plate code (embedding some advert banner or calendar widget or something) and that code assumes html, or needing to submit the document to be served via some content management system that is going to serve it as text/html whatever. It may be that the solution in both cases is not to change the specs at all, but simply(?) get the relevant software updated to support xhtml, but they are the main reasons I see at present, along with supporting IE<9, which again could have the same solution (update the browser to IE>=9).
