I hope you meant HTML 5, because XHTML is a dead end (and good riddance).
html does not have markup for some of the semantics that we have (and need)
in the help files (like <section> or <embed> to name few)

Both <section> and <embed> are part of HTML 5 and there is a good chance
the other things are as well.
They are, but they mean a completely different thing than what they mean
in XHP ;-)

<embed> in XHP is more like <object name="foo" type="text/html"
data="foo.inc"></object>.

Similarly <section> is more like a <div> with some associated css.

Again - I'm talking semantics; <object> is a general thing, and has no
semantics by itself, similarly <div>.  We'd lose this by converting to a
plain HTML.

All the best,

One thing I'd like to add for evaluation of using XML for the help
contents in browsers is that,  in my experience:

*  XSLT (XML style sheets), XPath and XQuery  are another technologies
to master.

* An error in a XSLT statement and one get  a blank page or a message
with very little indications (Firefox)

* XSLT seems to be an aging technology. Is the industry betting in this
technology for the future?

* Rendering XML+XSLT is browser-dependent and is not publicly/widely
tested by W3C. We may be forced to test the results into a wide set of
browsers.
