Yes, I'm aware the documents in the XHTML 2 namespace won't mean much  
to any normal browser.  I am investigating how to use XHTML 2 in the  
context of a CMS.  Specifically, I want to investigate the benefits  
that can come from using smart tools (e.g. oXygen) for CMS  
development, and how this can increase productivity and quality.

The XHTML 2 will be transformed to XHTML 1 before sending to the  
browser.
