Surely the semantic meaning is in the actual tag names, not just the
fact that they are standardised. It shouldn't matter as long as it's
understandable. Anyway, you can always re-use as many of the HTML tags
as you want, and make up your own when you need to.

You can add multiple CSS stylesheets to an XML document, just like HTML.
Or use can use XSL and transfrom the document into an HTML file with
multiple CSS stylesheets.

I'm not an expert at any of this, btw. What do XHTML2 and HTML5 give us
that we can't do with XML and CSS?
