As of October, 2007, HTML5 choses to support canvas but choses not to support namespaces. But it is fair to point out that HTML5 continues to be a draft, and subject to change. Given that context, it is fair to talk about the reasons why HTML5 does not currently support namespaces, and the consequences (both positive and negative) to that state of affairs; but it is not fair to state it as if it were a foregone conclusion. It is my belief that ultimately there will prove to be sufficient justification for namespaced or mime type qualified additions. It is further my belief that if that realization occurs after the Firefox 3 and Opera 9.5 timeframe, it will be more expensive to all to implement than if work began in earnest before that point. - Sam Ruby
