No, but it's a lot worse (potentially) than just "won't work".
If XHTML 1.0 is commonly delivered as */xml now, then future
processors might very well be expected to understand, for
example, <img src=""> even though that syntax would be
deprecated in a future version of XML that included XLink.

I agree that this is very harmful.

Not that this problem is insurmountable, but it probably is
likely premature to allow it now before we consider the
possible consequences.

In my understanding, XHTML 1.0 will be commonly delivered as text/html.  
The vote from Xerox asked omission of text/xml from XHTML.

Future versions of HTML will be delivered as something else, but it likely 
to be text/xml or application/xml.
