If you knew it was taken why were you referring to XHTML 2 instead of 
DOM Level
2 HTML? Checking for the feature "XHTML" with version "2.0" means that you are
checking if a user agent supporting XHTML 1 also supports the DOM interfaces
defined in DOM Level 2 HTML for it. It has nothing to do with XHTML 2.

Therefore, using "XHTML" and "5.0" should be no problem. Especially since the
HTML WG does not seem to plan to introduce any DOM interfaces for the new
elements...
