Not a fan. *Anything* that uses an XML Namespaces-like mechanism for embedding new elements is a bad idea, imo, because the fallback story (necessary to activate an experimental feature in multiple browsers, and to transition from experimental to standardized versions) is so horrible. Maciej argued that it may be worse than not doing it at all, and just using the public name from the start. This is simply unusable as a way to allow browsers to add experimental features without clashing with each other and future standardized versions of the feature. ~TJ
