I don't know what you mean by this. I can take any HTML document, and by use
of a "tag-soup" parser I can build a complete in-memory DOM. There is no part
of the HTML model that I can't represent as XHTML. I can take the in-memory
DOM and serialize it out as tag-soup HTML (in fact, that is what Tidy does
when you don't select XHTML output). To my knowledge there is a complete
one-to-one correspondence in data models between SGML/HTML and XHTML. The
distinctions are syntactic only.
