So why is "Newer" equivalent to "Better" ?
Justify your arguments. Show your working.

Except that if you accept that, then you implicitly accept there's no
point in writing XHTML at all. There is certainly no point (given the
current state of the web) in serving XHTML under an XML content-type.
Implicitly this then requires Appendix C and removes 1.1 from
viability.

If you _must_ (for whatever reason) push XHTML onto the web, then
you're currently forced to XHTML 1.0 rather than 1.1
