http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5801 --- Comment #3 from Henri Sivonen <hsivonen@iki.fi> 2008-06-26 07:25:46 --- (In reply to comment #1) > Or it could be changed so that xmlns is only allowed on foreign content > elements if their parent is in a different namespace than the element itself. If one is writing aesthetically pure text/html from scratch, there's no point in putting any xmlns attribute anywhere. The purpose of allowing xmlns in text/html source is to support copying and pasting XML-serialized SVG and MathML and HTML-compatible XHTML. In the copying source, it is permitted to have redundant xmlns anywhere. Allowing it in some places but not others in the paste target is pretty arbitrary--particularly when allowing it *at all* is about supporting easy pasting. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
