/ Paul Prescod <paul@prescod.net> was heard to say: |> Using the top-level namespace to identify a document's application is |> tempting, but doesn't always prove useful. | | Consider this example from the XSLT specification: | | <html xsl:version="1.0" | xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" | xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/strict"> | <head> | <title>Expense Report Summary</title> | </head> | <body> | <p>Total Amount: <xsl:value-of select="expense-report/total"/></p> | </body> | </html> | | It's a perfect example. This document is logically XSLT, not HTML. Hmm, so is it an argument or a counter argument? It seems like you'd need to send this as text/xslt-xml in order to get the right interpretation.
