I can see that my above questions, might have been particularly
newbie-dumb, but I am not the only dumb newbie out there. Might not it
have been useful to other users to see your response.

Particularly, since I have followed your instructions and have the new
nXhtml-mode working, I would now like to congratulate you on your work.
I think that those kudos from me and others should be on the public
list.

I am really impressed with what you have done and what you have shown
can be done with Lisp in emacs.
