Liam suggested that the HTML WG explicitly request the XML Core WG to review the Polyglot Markup Last Call in
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24451

Please let us know if the XML Core WG or WG members plan to do such a review.

Subject: Polyglot Markup: A robust profile of the HTML5 vocabulary is in Last Call

The HTML WG has decided to publish a second Last Call for the following
document:

Title:
    Polyglot Markup: A robust profile of the HTML5 vocabulary

URL:
    http://www.w3.org/TR/html-polyglot/

Editor's Draft:
  
http://dev.w3.org/html5/html-xhtml-author-guide/html-xhtml-authoring-guide.html

Abstract:
    A document that uses polyglot markup is a document that is a stream
    of bytes that parses into identical document trees (with some
    exceptions, as noted in the Introduction) when processed as HTML and
    when processed as XML. Polyglot markup that meets a well-defined set
    of constraints is interpreted as compatible, regardless of whether
    they are processed as HTML or as XHTML, per the HTML5 specification.
    Polyglot markup uses a specific DOCTYPE, namespace declarations, and
    a specific case-normally lower case but occasionally camel case-for
    element and attribute names. Polyglot markup uses lower case for
    certain attribute values. Further constraints include those on void
    elements, named entity references, and the use of scripts and style.

The review period will be for three weeks.

The decision can be seen here:
