RE: ISSUE-4 (html-versioning) (vs. ISSUE-30 longdesc)

I guess that depends on whether you expect existing XML tools to be able to process XHTML5 "out of the box" using standard XML processes as they do today with the existing XHTML.  It would seem unfortunate that an XHTML5 processing tool (not a UA, but just something that wants to do something with the content) can't just be an XML tool and would seem to ruin the whole point of it being XML (IMO).

Why is prose not enough? (There's no text/xhtml by the way, just  
application/xhtml+xml.)
