Yes, we discussed that in Cambridge and it is a very good point. I know. I just feel that the price we pay might be higher than necessary. (I must admit that differentiating the use of the class attribute on whether it is namespaced or not goes against my instict, somehow...). To be honest: I do not think that *this* would be the crucial point in getting the MF people closer to us. Seeing the various reactions on mailing lists, the usage of namespaces leads to much more pushback by people who regard namespaces as Evil on Earth... But that is another discussion issue...
