RELAX NG is inadequate, too, but an approximation is available.

You can use RELAX NG validator with text/html if you use an HTML parser that exposes the document tree in the way that the RELAX NG validator can consume.

XHTML5 doesn't have to be valid according to a schema. It is required to meet the requirements that the HTML5 spec states in English. The spec doesn't require a particular mechanism for assessing whether content meets the requirements.
