My understanding was that this was the original plan for XHTML. Keep HTML 4.x around as a "legacy standard" for old content, make new developments in a new language with an architecture more suited for modern use cases.

Of course this would have required browser vendors to support two languages at the same time for a sufficiently long transition period, which was apparently too much to demand.

But they did support both languages, and support them to this day.

It's the sites that didn't adopt XHTML. Everybody on the infrastructure side loved it.
