I still disagree. Most authors using namespaces in CSS selectors will have experience with CSS and HTML, and zero experience with XML namespaces. They will be copying boilerplate to style their XHTML+something documents. (By your argument, anyone using attributes in HTML would have existing experience with SGML attributes because SGML predates HTML by a fair margin. Obviously though that's not the case.) -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
