I am very much in favour of this. While deprecation in favour of 
https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0393.html may have seemed simpler at the 
time, new work like https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0394.html demonstrates 
that this is not enough and there is an appetite for full rich text. The 
standardized rich tezt format is HTML which has the benefit (for us) of 
having an obvious XML syntax and a pre existing XEP.

Besides this we also have new and acitve uses of XHTML-IM in the community 
(not just by me) and leaving the XEP deprecated is confusing in this 
context.
