Re: I'm _still_ confused about 3.8 Extension elements

/ ht@inf.ed.ac.uk (Henry S. Thompson) was heard to say:

If it changes the flow, then there's no point putting it in an ignored
namespace since it can't be ignored.

The extension stuff is really appinfo. Maybe we should bag all the
ignored namespaces stuff and just add p:appinfo as an ANY container.
