Indeed.

What are the central goals behind the development of XHTML 2?  How is
it intended to differ from conforming XML + CSS?  For example, is it
the intention that XHTML 2 user agents will have default knowledge
of its vocabulary so that they can provide default rendering in the
absence of CSS?

Have such goals been publicly stated in a W3C document?
