Yup.

I have no problem making an a backwards-compatible change. But claiming 
that there is no change is not helpful.

So, the options are:

1) Forbid it, by not including it in the global attributes.

2) Keep it as per XHTML, by adding it to the global attributes (for XML).

3) Extend it (as per 2).

For 1) and 3), we should state the change in the Differences document.

I personally think that 2) would make sense, but I wouldn't object to 3).

Best regards, Julian
