XHTML is XML. So all the tools that handles XML could use XHTML too. For example I usually create Indexes using XQuery onto XHTML.
ePub2 had a strange thing called XML island too, deprecated in EPUB3, that was interesting, but with poor support. In XML island you could use every XML you want, with a fallback in XHTML. For example I created some years ago an ebook in TEI XML, linked to a CSS, and some readers supported it (Ibooks).
Oblivious I DO NOT suggest to use XML island today.
