As far as I'm concerned CSS would have been much better off without support for namespaces. (I fixed the specification mostly because it is a somewhat legacy thing for which it seemed easier to get interoperability than remove support for it entirely everywhere. In retrospect this may have been a bad choice, but you have to pick your battles.) -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
