Both options are not acceptable; most users of the validator get
information they cannot use and they did not ask for; the first option
is not even possible, you cannot include abitrary XML elements in XHTML
1.0 documents, the second is real pain for implementers. What could be
done is to markup the result elements with proper class attributes. I am
not sure whether this makes sense if there is an option for real XML
output.
