This is quite a catalog of problems. For the most part, it seems like the problems you're having come from: * Fragments that don't indicate namespace context (or which don't use namespaces) * Style sheets that don't support namespaces anyway Is this a reasonable reading? The problems seem to originate with inclusion, and considering the included material as part of the parent document. (xlxp-dev discussions never seemed to reach a consensus on whether this was 'proper' handling.) The fragments working group just came out with a 'last call' draft: http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xml-fragment I don't know if it'll solve too many of your problems, but on my first read it looks like namespace context will at least be preserved. Of course, there are details... Has there been any progress on CSS and namespaces? It seems like it might be as quirky as XML validation and namespaces, but I'd love to know if anyone's started fighting this battle.
