But why would we want to do this? There is no logically reason for doing so.

Under your idea the spec would have two serialisations:

HTML 5 (text/html)
HTXML 5 (application/xhtml+xml) or (application/xml)
This is not good idea, and creates more differences and more confusion 
between the two serialisations.

Perhaps you should suggest to the XHTML 2 working group (private, not 
open to the public)  that they rename their spec "HTXML 2" or "WXML 1" 
or something like that.

This would clear the way for us to use the most obvious and logical 
naming conventions for our spec:

   HTML 5 (text/html)
XHTML 5 (application/xhtml+xml) or (application/xml)
