This could be implemented and tested as an extension, for fun if not in the hope that it gets adopted. The way I saw this happening last I thought about it was that unknown namespaces would cause the UA to retrieve an RDDL(-like) document for them. That could easily point to some XBL (or rather, to some CSS integrating that XBL) that would implement the language. It's actually fairly trivial. -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/
