No, Henri was right.  I did mean the serialisability.  It may have been 
clearer if I'd said "that would be another incompatibility between the 2 
[syntaxes or serialisations]" instead.

In HTML5, HTML and XHTML are just different serialisations of the same 
language.  However, for reasons mostly related to parsing, there are 
some differences in what can be represented in each.  e.g. Namespaces in 
XHTML, but not in HTML; and <noscript> in HTML, but not in XHTML.
