Apologies, I copied the namespace from the previous note (didn't look too closely, I usually rely on validators to set me straight). Good reason to explicitly state the XHTML namespace in the second note I think - save others from my mistake. And forgive the wording, didn't mean elements from other namespaces should be banned, using "(X)HTML elements" may clarify.
