A specific subset of XHTML2 will be used, not XHTML2 in it's entirety.  The
suggested document format will use this subset (instead of doc-v20 or doc-v12).
But the main advantage of XHTML2 will be in using it as an intermediate format
and doc-v12, simplified docbook, etc can still be used as source documents.

Why not use the title attribute of <section>?  Section supports it, and it makes
sense semantically.

That was my thinking yes, there are too many documents currently written 
in XDoc to demand they change to XHTML. And yes, it will be a subset of 
XHTML, the minimum needed to get things done the way they are at present.

Having said that, there are XHTML editors and the differences between 
XHTML and XDoc are very small. So I imagine we would provide a converter 
of some description so that projects can switch to using XHTML as their 
native form if they so desire.
