You have the ability, in XHTML, to use a given class of paragraph style to suit multiple situations; you don't do that in XML.

It doesn't even make sense. XHTML must be a well-formed XML and have some kind of structure. It is no any different from a pure XML format.
Code:
<div class="letter">
<p class="lett1">Hello friend!</p>
<p>Blah</p>
</div>
and
Code:
<letter>
<salutation>Hello friend!</salutation>
<p>Blah</p>
</letter>
What is the difference? Those are both XML yet you claim the former is fundamentally more simple than latter.
