Will UAs be able to present an API to (X)HTML documents that conforms to

HTML5 DOM supercedes HTML2 DOM and doesn't include all it's functionality.
HTML2 DOM is also vague about some things where HTML5 DOM is not. In
practice, HTML5 DOM will be compatible with what you're used to.
If XHTML2 uses a different namespace from XHTML1, will UAs be able to
treat XHTML1 documents in a way that conforms to both W3C and WHATWG
specs?
Sort of. Again, the W3C specification lacks a lot of detail.
If XHTML2 ends up using the same namespace as XHTML1, will UAs be able
to treat XHTML2 documents in a way that conforms to both W3C and WHATWG
specs?
I think a more interesting question is whether any UA will implement
XHTML2.
Would there be any overlap, where elements
from HTML5 and XHTML 2.0 with different names perform the same function?
Yes. <input> would be an interesting one. Another one is <img>.
In each question I'm including all current working drafts but excluding
any future work. If there are any incompatibilities, what are they?
See above.
