XML doesn't "degrade gracefully". One of the whole points of XML is that it not "degrade gracefully". If you wish to argue this point, that's a whole other kettle of fish, and one that I have no opinion on in the context of changing Mozilla's behaviour, which is currently attempting to follow existing W3C specifications. > Perhaps Mozilla could introduce some sort of comment element for > namespaces. Something [...] Similar to the <noscript> hack for > JavaScript. Emphasis on "hack". I'm not saying these are not good ideas -- merely that they move WAY beyond the existing specifications and it is therefore not appropriate to just implement them. Get the W3C to agree on something, and then you have something to get the implementors to do.
