Someone needs to read a good WP article before they start mentioning (X)HTML version numbers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XHTML
HTML5 and XHTML5, called HTML5 as a general but like HTML4 and XHTML1.x they are basically the same API with different tag parsing flavors. You don't need to drop from XHTML into HTML to get v5 support. As for XHTML2. Don't make the mistake of thinking that because XHTML was v1 they're going to use sane numbers and move up to HTML5 and XHTML2 because the previous names were HTML4 and XHTML1. Nope, instead they've made numbers parallel and the successors to HTML4 and XHTML1 are HTML5 and XHTML5.
XHTML2 is a completely different specification which is not backwards compatible with old XHTML1 documents. Though it does look interesting, going from a XHTML <a href="http://example.com"><img src="img.png" alt="alt text" /></a> ^_^ and instead using <img src="img.png" href="http://example.com">Alt text <em>With Emphasis!</em></img>, heh.

Gentlemen, In wikitext I want to do <ol start="6101">
<li>a <li>b </ol> but http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/lists.html says that is deprecated.
It's been un-deprecated in HTML5, for what that's worth. I don't know whether XHTML2 has done so as well.
IMHO it should be allowed to do
<ol start="6101"> # a # b </ol>
instead of having to revert to html to do this -otherwise not too uncommon- action.
