Currently, IE doesn't support the DOM APIs related to namespaces. Currently the other browsers support these APIs but don't have a mapping to the HTML serialisation (and don't process the xmlns in the way IE does). This proposal aims to bring the two together. It's true that we're not aware of a current implementation that does both.

Adrian.
