In particular, the colon has no special meaning in HTML element names." or some such. (depending on what happens with -41, anyway) Posted from: 98.248.33.53 42607 1 esprehn 2010-11-18 08:39:30 +0000 Zeros = Elliott from the HTML WG. 42621 2 ayg 2010-11-18 22:17:28 +0000 Namespace prefixes and namespace declarations don't have the same effect in text/html as in XML, but they're conforming in some cases, e.g., <!doctype html> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <title lang=en xml:lang=en>...</title> validates as HTML5. The DOM produced here would of course differ between XML and text/html (although this particular example doesn't parse at all as XML). 43681 3 ian 2010-12-31 04:06:29 +0000 I'll add a note once ISSUE-41 is resolved, if it's resolved in a way that doesn't add xmlns processing. 45418 4 ian 2011-02-12 00:19:52 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
