There is no nxhtml.el bundled with Emacs. It is nXml, not nXhtml, that 
is bundled with Emacs 23.

nXhtml is using nXml and nxml-mode is derived from nxhtml-mode.

When the load routines for nXhtml discovere that you are using a version 
of Emacs that includes nXml it will use the version that is included in 
Emacs. (Otherwise it uses the version that comes with nXhtml and is the 
original version from James Clark.)

So you should not do this. Please see above.
