This discussion is a decade late. The direction was set when HTML5 was chosen instead of XHTML 2.0 and I don't think any important group changed their mind since. Committee-made standards are impotent without popular implementations.

HTML5 does have a standard XML serialization, which subsumes the "XHTML 2.0" use cases (such as extensibility via other XML namespaces).

  Sure and what can you use it for in the browser? SVG at most. XInclude? I don't think so. XHTML 2.0 was about much more than this.
