Why are they critical for extensibility? The format is completely separated from everything else in the world and the only likely extensions are going to be made by vendors which could use something similar to <vendor-extension> or <widget vendor-extension=""> Using namespaces here just complicates things for authors who want to copy and paste lines of codes without the level of indirection given by namespaces (where they would have to copy the namespace decleration too). -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
