Yeah,. but have you ever ACTUALLY tried to use CSS3 (and heck even a lot of 
CSS2) with XML and Mozilla? Don't hold your breath for it to work reliably. 
Some things do, but the level of hackery required is 11 on a scale of 1 to 
10. Its a LOT simpler at this stage of the game to just output XHTML to 
browsers unless they specifically ask for XML (stylechooser etc.). IMHO.
