So, basically, the <html> element should stay for historical reasons?  
Isn't XHTML 2.0 supposed to be breaking most of this history and not be  
backward-compatible anyway? Why does the 15 years of history with <html>  
apply to XHTML 2.0 if none of the other (excuse my language) rubbish from  
older HTML specifications doesn't?
