It still doesnt work for me. The hook prevents MMM-Mode from being
activated for html - files (non xhtml) for me. This may be due to
splitting your Emacs WebDev (thank you for that) across multiple files
or the MMM-Mode version i am using (0.4.8) or something else.

I guess its because MMM-Mode reruns the sgml-html-mode hooks while activating
which somehow fails for html files when point is not at the beginning of
the buffer which seems to be the case.

(defun guess-xhtml-hook ()
  "Guess whether the current buffer is XHTML."
  (when
      (save-excursion
        (goto-char 1)
        (search-forward-regexp "<[?]xml\\|//W3C//DTD XHTML" 80 t))
    (xml-html-mode)))

works for me.
