OK. It is a good point.
only one more thing: xhtml is not valid html?
I mean, the following behaviour is expected?

[albie natura albie]$ xmllint --html index.html > _.xhtml

  I would expect _.xhtml to be SGML HTML there

[albie natura albie]$ xmllint --html _.xhtml > /dev/null
_.xhtml:1: error: htmlParseStartTag: invalid element name
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>

  Apparently it's not the case, sounds like a bug

 ^
_.xhtml:2: error: Misplaced DOCTYPE declaration
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org^

  Considering your question it doesn't make much sense.
xhtml is XML. This is not SGML. XHTML and SGML HTML do not have 
similar validity rules. "valid" has a very strict meaning in XML.
I don't know what meaning you're trying to give to it in your question.
And  xmllint --html index.html is not supposed to generate XHTML .
