The x tag is really only thought for jabber only extensions.

In fact, you *have* to use <html 
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> if you ever want to validate 
the jabber XML using a DTD. Reason: the XHTML DTD requires as root 
element <html> - but the tag containing the xmlns attrib already 
belongs to that NS; thus, you have to embed XHTML into a <xhtml> 
element.
