If XHTML semantics are not associated with XHTML-namespaced elements in
generic XML, then I believe CDF has a problem to solve. That should just
work: that's the whole *point* of having namespaces.

Looking at XHTML1:3.2, I think Bert's interpretation is wrong and Christopher
Strobbe's interpretation is correct. That statement basically says that 'name'
attributes on <a> elements shall not be recognized as fragment identifiers.
It is not saying that XHTML sent as XML should lose all its semantics. At least
that is my interpretation; I invite Steven Pemberton to clarify the original
intent of that quote.
