[Bug 25098] Clarifications on "legacy reasons" for namespace URI

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=25098

--- Comment #4 from Sebastian Müller <sebp.muell.er@gmail.com> ---
Sorry, that was my fault. I did not mean "XML 1.1", I confused versions with
editions and mixed in the XML namespace standard and got all wrong. Apologies
for the confusion.

I was referring to the XML standard that defined namespaced attributes, which
is valid and used in all of todays SVG, SOAP, XAML, and many XML Schema files.
I was under the impression that the DOM API that is discussed is the DOM API
that will be used for parsing XML files that have been loaded, e.g. through
XMLHttpRequests. And just because "anything new that w3 and whatwg design will
not contain namespaced attributes anymore" shouldn't mean that they should not
be used in XML documents that are parsed by the browser at all. Or am I
misunderstanding something here?

-Thanks - Sebastian
