In theory, yes. In practice, no. Bare in mind that the 0.3 Atom spec had type="application/xhtml+xml" with basically the same functionality as the current type="xhtml". Now since Atom 0.3 is still a whole lot more widely used than Atom 1.0, you can be fairly sure than anyone that bothers to handle XML content at all will be capable of handling type="application/xhtml+xml" containing xhtml fragments.
Speak for yourself. It's crappy assumptions like this that made RSS hellish to work with. Atom is unambiguous. "application/xhtml+xml" means the page content is a full standalone web page.
