While I see your point, I would still be suspicious that if you have nxhtml-mode and iff it comes with nxml-mode, then it would be quite feasible that depending on load-path settings, you may pick up parts from the different versions of nxml-mode, which in turn could result in inconsistencies if there has been changes made to one version and not the other.
