The current Parsing XHTML documents, Serializing XHTML fragments, and Parsing XHTML fragments sections define requirements for XML processing, not anything specific to “XHTML”.
And in general continued use of the term “the XHTML syntax” buys us nothing at this point, so the change in this PR replaces all references to that with just “XML”.
When most authors see the term “XHTML document” they think about XHTML1, not about anything we define in the current HTML spec. It’s ambiguous. So this change clears away that ambiguity.
