Dear Jeff -- Although I do not entirely agree with your analysis (I do not believe it goes far enough : "mixing existing languages on web pages" is far short of the extensibility that I and others long for), I would like to ask you to clarify one point : on what basis do you assert that "the potential audience/readership [of XHTML] is an order-of-magnitude smaller" ?
