I'm not sure why you refer to XHTML as the successor to WML. WML was designed 
to work with WAP in very low bandwidth applications with minimal displays. 
XHTML on the other hand is simply targeted as the replacement for HTML 4.x. 
Its simply HTML 4.x which has been regularized to conform to XML syntax 
conventions. Most existing browsers more-or-less tolerate XHTML already 
(though they don't seem to implement some of the more XML-ish features...).

I certainly wouldn't consider XHTML as suitable for use with a cell phone for 
example. XML IN GENERAL when combined with CSS2/3 might be a different story 
at some point, but I don't think handheld devices generally have the level of 
support for CSS that would be required at this point, though honestly I have 
only done simple applications and its a market with a pretty wide variety of 
stuff...
