I'm not sure what you want is feasible as automagically as you'd like to i.e. it won't be PHP that will do the transformation for you. From my understanding of the XML universe, XHTML is an XMLized variant of HTML4.0 i.e. a 'very well shaped' HTML that fits the strictness of XML syntax. To get XHTML from an arbitrary XML document you'd need to use XSLT which is an XML application (don't misunderstand the term 'application' here).
