Is there a draft of XHTML2 yet that uses the XHTML1 namespace? The  
latest Working Draft I could find was <http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-xhtml2-20060726/ 
 > which uses "http://www.w3.org/2002/06/xhtml2/" as the namespace  
URI. I could not find any public Editor's Drafts. The reason I ask is  
because XHTML2 WG members have on a number of occasions stated that  
XHTML2 uses the XHTML1 namespace, in the present tense, as if it were  
already true. But this seems to actually be a planned future change.
