Oh, sorry, it turns out that wasn't actually correct, because the live 
DOM viewer is misleading - or at least it is correct about what happens 
when you create HTML via document.write(), but is incorrect when you're 
loading an actual HTML file (in which case it doesn't recognise <x:y> 
unless you have <html xmlns:x> or <?xml:namespace prefix=x>). So, IE's 
behaviour is somewhat more complex and less sane that I thought.
