This could thus also imply:

When using these, though, generic XML tools (i.e., those that aren't
XHTML-aware) won't "see" these elements. This doesn't really matter much
for the first and third, but for xml:base it can have a practical effect
on how the document is processed in the presence of embedded XML
fragments from other vocabularies.
And if you aren't going to use generic XML tools or embed fragments from
other vocabularies, why would you use XHTML rather than plain old HTML?
