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

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.
