A story about namespaces, MIME types, and URIs
Noone seems to know where the story begins; Ian Jacobs reminded me about magic namespaces as I enjoyed breakfast on Thursday; Steven Pemberton and Bert Bos had told it to him, perhaps prompted by Ian Hickson's question in the URI-based extensibility panel the day before: how do we make namespaces usable by HTML authors?
On Saturday, I took an action in the HTML Working Group discussion of ARIA to write it up. Little did I know that by the time I got back to the office, Norm would have written up Implicit Namespaces for me.
Thanks, Norm!

Good question. I think I can see the answer, but I won't be sure until I can write it up. Here's hoping I find time soon...

So... what are your thoughts on Ian Hickson's question, "how do we make namespaces usable by HTML authors?" That's my biggest issue. It's a pretty dense topic to get your head around... little alone teach to someone else.
