Not quite. XHTML is a richer syntax than XWiki. For one thing HTML forms 
can't be represented in XWiki syntax.

Then I don't see it's purpose. It's really rare to have an XHTML with 
attribute-less tags. Title, alt, class, id are just a few of the common 
XHTML attributes that go inside (%%) in XWiki syntax.

Basically you're saying that passing a hand-written XHTML page to the 
office importer/cleaner removes all my attributes beside src on images 
and href on link. Why would I need such a filter?
