It is not necessary. I think it should like this:

Isn't it too difficult for you?

XHTML would only be good for the formatting aspects. It can't represent parser functions, template calls, etc. XML lets you mix and match vocabularies, of course.
I have never said that we'll use native XHTML. I said that Wikitext is too loose, making it difficult to parse and we waste a lot of work hours for it. What I suggest is a XML-based markup because it's less painful and I can prove with you, it can represent anything Wikitext can. We just only add some tags as: <if>, <include>, <value-of> and even <for-each>,... It's sound complicated but it isn't more complicated than Wikitext at all. It's nothing more than Wikitext structures rewritten in XML style. It's good because it's clearer, easier to parse and not too difficult to read.
