Shelley took up the problem that SVG editors are known to place namespaces in their code, thus automatically being invalid - bug 7510 [1]. However, online services such as Gooogle Sites [2] (formerly known as Jotspot [3]) do the same, directly in the HTML (XHTML served as text/HTML). E.g. from the Chromium homepage[4]: <body xmlns="http://www.google.com/ns/jotspot" id="body" class=" en"> FWIW, when validating that page according to its doctype, there were 89 errors and 29 warnings[5]. Validating as HTML5 there were only 40 [6] or 44 [7] errors. If namespaces were permitted, there would be fewer.
