That would still require an update of RFC 3236. I also don't really see the
advantage over using simply a <div> element with the namespace applied 
to it or
some random element in another namespace. I also don't see why would want to
send it over the wire as application/xhtml+xml.

(Atom uses a <div> element as root for XHTML fragments.)
