My bad - I misinterpreted this statement:
"* If you ever switch your documents that claim to be XHTML from
text/html to application/xhtml+xml, then you will in all likelyhood end
up with a considerable number of XML errors, meaning your content won't
be readable by users. (See above: most of these documents do not validate.)"
to mean the xhtml will not validate as xml, but really Ian Hixie is
stating that (he has found) the majority of documents claiming to be
xhtml do not validate and so in futture will not render as
application/xhtml+xml by xml parsers.
For the record: Paul *Cowan* is right, Paul *Bennett* is wrong ;)
