However, in the same "spirit", a middle way for those who want XMLiness in HTML, would be to allow the xmlns:?.* attribute, xml:base, xml:id, and xml:lang. Yet, define them as meaningless. Just for validation purposes, just for helping people who do such things on the server-side.

I disagree. I think xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/html"; is fine in HTML because it just states what is already implied. But I think allowing attributes with no meaning to validate will just reenforce the idea that they are meaningful. If you use them, fine, but you'll have a validation error there that will warn you that this is no HTML.

I know I suggested xml:lang before, but that was when I thought it was parsed in HTML. Now I think a more clever approach would be to allow html:lang to validate in XHTML, because XHTML already mandates that html:lang be taken into account when determining the language.

As for xml:id, why not use "id" purely and simply? It works with both HTML and XHTML anyway.
