In our work we have a Netscape/IE plug-in which receives downloaded XML and stylesheet data, and sends a resulting HTML stream to the browser rendering engine. We have certainly found it useful on occasion to include sections of HTML data which are skipped by the XML parser and sent without modification to the browser. Our browser is set, for the moment, to accept both <HTML> </HTML> sections within XML, and also <XML> </XML> sections within HTML sections. It would seem to me that when browsers are able to operate in either HTML, or XML + XSL modes, then being able to switch modes within a document (being able, in effect, to embed in either direction) could indeed become quite relevant and useful.
