…isn't true.  It's been discussed before how namespace-based extension
of element names is *not* very friendly to the standardization
process.  Making namespaces workable in HTML may bring significant
compat benefits, but it won't really help with the extensibility
problem.

Now, back to discussing the proposal as a whole. ^_^
