You lost me with the blanket statement. I do want to style <svg:a> and <html:a> differently sometimes, so we need a solution for that. Since they differ only in their namespace (and fully qualified name, of course), we need a way to match on either namespace or fully qualified name. I wish it weren't so, but if CSS is going to be useful for styling HTML5 documents that include SVG, MathML, and such, then it needs this capability. Your links seem to be about making up XML dialects, which is a totally different issue. -Boris
