It seems they did publish such a draft: "Change XHTML 2.0 namespace to http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" -- http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-xhtml2-20060726/ I'm told it was by popular demand, so perhaps lots of demand in the other direction would get it changed. Myself, I'm content with the "ignore it and see if it goes away" approach. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ gpg D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
