My train of thought started with the sharing of test cases, and when 
coupled with the discussion on the common subset; when put together I 
was wondering if there would be a relation between the two.

I (obviously) hadn't considered innerHTML.  *IF* there were interest in 
changing this (something which I presume is *NOT* the case) and *IF* a 
common subset between XHTML5 and HTML5 was viable (plausible but not 
certain) *THEN* the confusing difference in meaning between innerHTML in 
an XML and HTML context could be resolved.

All told, seems rather unlikely, so nevermind.
