Most of the HTML menu-bar commands in sgml-mode.el are defined as
skeletons, so I think they could be used in any other major mode.  It
might be as simple as this:

(require 'sgml-mode)    ; for html-mode-map
(define-key nxml-mode-map [menu-bar html]
  (lookup-key html-mode-map [menu-bar html]))

I haven't tried it yet, but I suspect nxml-mode is better for XHTML
documents.  You might also want to ask on the emacs-nxml-mode discussion
