(I don't see any reason why role attributes in no namespace on elements in the http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml namespace should not work in XUL or SVG host documents.) > 2. http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml (we still need to support this as it's > officially part of the XHTML role attribute module, and I believe it is > being used out there right now. Our current crop of examples uses that.) The XHTML role attribute module seems to be a bit confused on this point, but AFAICT the intent of the spec is to have the role attribute be in no namespace for elements in the http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml namespace (e.g. the attribute is in no namespace in all examples in the spec). Can you point to any existing content that relies on this to be supported? > 3. http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2 > > We go from least obscure to most obscure in our priority.
