Appendix C is a set of guidelines to make XHTML documents (sort-of) compatible with HTML user agents. Those are NOT guidelines to make HTML documents compatible with XHTML. XHTML 1.0 is a reformulation of HTML 4 in XML 1.0 but XHTML 1.0 and HTML 4 are not fully compatible, due to differences between SGML rules used for HTML (as elaborated in the SGML declaration for HTML 4) and XML's.
