But 7.1 Disallowed Attributes says, confusingly: The following attributes are not allowed in polyglot markup. These attributes have effects in documents parsed as XML but do not have effects in documents parsed as text/html. The HTML5 spec therefore defines them as invalid in text/html documents. [HTML5] xml:space xml:base Note that the xml:space and xml:base attributes are allowed on SVG and MathML elements. For internal consistency, and consistency with HTML5, shouldn't this be revised to read The following attributes are not allowed in polyglot markup except on foreign elements. These attributes have effects in documents parsed as XML but do not have effects in documents parsed as text/html outside of foreign elements. The HTML5 spec therefore defines them as invalid in text/html documents except on foreign elements.
