Rather the question should be: "What does XHTML offer that HTML doesn't?"
There is no benefit over HTML when XHTML is served as text/html. There
is just the "XHTML is newer than HTML so it is cooler" factor. However,
when XHTML is served as text/html, the XML parser isn't there enforcing
well-formedness. Publishing bogus XHTML accidentally would set a bad
example.

Using the existing wrapper would mean less work in the short term.
Another argument would be keeping the current look because it is known.
I'd rather see a new CSS appearance.

* Horizontal navigation bar above the content
* CSS floating vertical navigation bar to the right of the content
