Are there three XHTML "vocabularies" or just three DTDs? We could just
think of them as ONE language with ONE processing model that happens to
have three different DTDs depending on how picky you (either author or
recipient) want to be.

I think that the three different DTDs are like the difference between an
XML Schema and a RELAX NG. They may check different things in slightly
different ways but the *processing model* is the same and that's what's
most important.
