This is a case in which XHTML1.0 and HTML5 somewhat disagree.  We implement what XHTML1.0 says so far, pending HTML5 stabilizing on the behavior it wants.

HTML5 + XML = XHTML5
not XHTML1.0

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5
"XHTML5 is the XML serialization of HTML5. XML documents must be served with an XML Internet media type such as application/xhtml+xml or application/xml.[38] XHTML5 requires XML’s strict, well-formed syntax. In XHTML5 the HTML5 doctype html is optional and may simply be omitted."

I'm well aware of that.  The point is, the spec for what to do with documents of type application/xhtml+xml used to say one thing, now says something slightly different, and is still in flux.
