From http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/Overview.html#well-formed

 The XHTML namespace may be used with other XML namespaces as
 per [XMLNS], although such documents are not strictly conforming
 XHTML 1.0 documents as defined above.

Using a doctype which contains those. Some work has already
been done, http://www.w3.org/TR/XHTMLplusMathMLplusSVG/


An off topic comment, but you might want to check the page with
CSS and image support turned off. I think that the
alt="Company logo" should be alt="Company" as that's what
the images are conveying, for example.

Hope this helps,
