The W3C validator is currently using XHTML1.1+MathML2.0 and 
XHTML1.1+MathML2.0+SVG1.1, while HTML5 is still indicated as an 
experimental feature. So I was thinking that a smooth upgrade could be 
to provide DTDs for XHTML1.1+MathML3.0 and XHTML1.1+MathML3.0+SVG1.1 (or 
maybe only the latter DTD, which includes the former). I guess DTDs for 
HTML5 can be generated from the RelaxNG schemas (and it's probably 
already the case).

Yes, it is certainly a good idea to see that with Henri Sivonen. FYI, 
making a RelaxNG schema for XHTML 1.1 was discussed here but I don't 
know what is the status of the project:
