HTML5 in fact defines an HTML serialization and an XHTML
serialization, which are equally valid and largely equivalent (except
for a few minor points). All major browsers support the XHTML
serialization in their current versions[1].

You can author your document in XHTML serialization using nxml.
However, the xhtml schema bundled with nxml is that of XHTML 1.0, not
XHTML5. It does not know about <section> or <nav> or any other
newfangled elements of HTML5.
You’d need to either clone and extend the XHTML 1.0 schema to make it
accept XHTML5 on your own, or obtain schema files from somebody who
already walked this path. This thread[2] of half a year ago and this
repository[3] over at Github might help you in that.
