You're behind the times. Late last year, Sir Tim announced that the W3C
would re-open its HTML efforts, working in conjunction with WHATWG to
establish an HTML 5 standard.
XHTML 2 has different aims, and will be worked on in parallel by the W3C
XHTML working group.
The W3C HTML and XHTML groups are expected to swap some ideas though.
After all, if there's some piece of functionality that would be beneficial
to both languages, it makes sense that the syntax between them is as close
as possible.
