I would be more concerned about how they are intending on making XHTML2 compatible with XHTML1 than with the WHATWG work. For example, XHTML2's <input> element has basically completely different semantics than XHTML1's. Even simple elements like <img> and <q> are incompatible across the two versions, in the current draft. -- Ian Hickson
