It seems to me that the main benefit for the "polyglot" approach is the 
document producer who can use the rich variety of xml tools to generate 
the document, without requiring an html5 specific serialiser at the end 
of the chain. Most of the time the document consumer is going to be 
using a web browser consuming the document as text/html.
