I just read about how other markup languages (e.g. MathML, SVG) will be implicitly namespace'd when put into an appropriate tag here: http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2009-July/020740.htm l Allowing XML namespaces to be "inserted" into HTML5 is a neat feature, but challenges its definition as a subset of XML. I don't believe the XML 1.0 specification allows this. The XHTML specification would allow a module to be added on to it (in the form of a DTD fragment), but in this case it would no longer be its own markup language, but an add-on to HTML5. Mixing markup languages also makes the DOCTYPE declaration pretty much null and void. What's the point of a DTD if you're going to add in other DTDs? This is really challenging the whole direction the w3c has pointed out for SGML. -frattaro -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
