I don't know what you mean by "xmlns:" here. If you mean in the same way that
HTML5 currently "uses" xmlns, namely as a set of optional attributes with fixed
values that have no effect on the processing model, then yes, that would be
fine.

I'm not aware of any proposal that does the above that I consider simple enough
for broad Web deployment, but that doesn't mean one doesn't exist. I do not
wish to be obtuse; nor is this bug intended to be an obstinate roadblock. I
truly am open to other ideas, I just think that, as described in the original
bug description and in comment 44, the current mechanism is too complicated.
