http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6777 --- Comment #21 from Jonathan Robie <jonathan.robie@redhat.com> 2009-04-06 19:57:24 --- (In reply to comment #20) > The thing is that HTML nodes need to match against two kinds of expressions: > 1) Expressions from the past the have no namespace. > 2) Expressions from the future that have the http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml > namespace. > > Basically, the issue is having the backwards-compatibility cake and eating the > HTML/XHTML DOM consistency cake, too. But you do this by trying to force a major inconsistency into XPath. Speaking for myself, I'd be very surprised if this proposal were accepted. A nametest that does not contain a wildcard specifies one name. It matches nodes that have that name. I would strongly oppose any change to that.
