Question 1: Of what value will "onMouseOver" events be to a mobile phone 
user?  Why include specifications that are irrelevant to the device?

Question 2: If I "surfed" to a site using a mobile phone, and found a 
telephone number, wouldn't it make sense to "link" that phone number so I 
could autodial it?  Does HTML have an autodial function?  I'm sure XHTML 
will cope.

The purpose of XHTML is that it begins the modularisation of HTML.  This 
can later be linked with Profiles to simplify the server-side 
transformations you keep talking about.
