Yup, I know hixie both personally and technically (we worked together at Opera), and I think all his arguments are invalid, and frameworks like Cocoon prove it. In modern web frameworks, it is trivial to serialize to different formats, and while there are subtle differences, they are trivially resolved with a few lines of XSLT and a simple pipeline. I know that Cocoon can do it too, but not quite how yet. :-) Hixie was never exposed to a proper framework, so he is of the faulty impression that these things are hard, thus the statement "Steps 1 to 5 have been seen by every single person I have spoken to who has switched to using the XHTML MIME type."
