Did you mean XML, and not XHML?

Google return me a lot results for "XHTML extending", including spec - http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/xhtml-modularization-19990406/extending.html
But, XHTML is too strict and do not widely used.

Is there any plans to include some king of extending in HTML5 (not XHTML)? Or my case(problem) is very rare, and is no point  to encourage people to extent HTML language?


Anton.
