Indeed, it seems feasible to have a reasonable number of attribute names that have hard-wired prefixes when DOM consistency with legacy browsers is not needed. (DOM consistency with legacy browsers was needed in the case of ARIA for styling.) Hard-wired prefixes don't break efficient early interning and do not introduce the problem of psychotic use of namespaces. The MathML-in-text/html feature of HTML5 already specifies handling of such attributes (e.g. xml:lang and xlink:href). -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
