OK, perhaps it isn't a goal, but having different rules is still unintuitive (and adds conformance checker complexity rather pointlessly). Since doing what Simon suggesting for making rules consistent would break the SVG/MathML use case but doing what I suggested wouldn't break the use case for the HTML side, I continue to suggest what I suggested initially. (I think using xmlns attributes *at all* is aesthetically displeasing, but we already have huge aesthetic holes in the conformance definition, such as not requiring a particular source indent style.) -- 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.
