--- Comment #10 from Christophe Strobbe <[email protected]> ---
I confirm this bug with LibreOffice 7.1.4.2 on OpenSUSE.

Version: 7.1.4.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 10(Build:2)
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.5; UI render: default; VCL: kf5
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.utf8); UI: en-GB
Calc: threaded

When this bug was submitted in October 2014, HTML5 was still relatively new,
since it first become a W3C recommendation in that same month:
https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4167 
HTML 5 has now been around long enough to be considered as a replacement for
HTML 4.01, which has been marked as a "superseded recommendation" by the W3C
since March 201!: https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/ 
LibreOffice's XHTML export function generates code with the identifier "XHTML
1.1 plus MathML 2.0". XHTML 1.1 has also been marked as a "superseded
recommendation" since March 2018: https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/ .

HTML5 has brought a large number of elements, attributes and improvements, such
as adding the figure and figcaption elements (relevant to other LibO bugs),
allowing the embedding of both MathML and SVG (which was probably the main use
case for XHTML support) and adding support for WAI-ARIA for better
accessibility (see https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/dom.html#wai-aria ;
accessibility is an area in which LibO also has a number of bugs).

I think this makes a strong use case for replacing both XHTML 1.1 and HTML 4
with HTML 5. (One might add an option to export HTML 5 with XML syntax.)
