Could you specify exactly where it says that, I can only see it saying

      In addition, [XHTML1]
      defines a profile of use of XHTML which is compatible with HTML
      4.01 and which may also be labeled as text/html.

Which doesn't actually place any requirements on how XHTML 1 be processed,
it just states the (incorrect) fact that the profile makes it compatible
with HTML 4.01
