Description Henry S. Thompson 2011-11-30 12:26:07 UTC 
In the Attribute-Level Namespaces section, we find both

 "Polyglot markup declares the XLink namespace on the HTML root element (html)"

and

 "polyglot markup defines the xlink prefix only on foreign elements (any SVG
  or MathML element) but not the root html element"

The latter should be removed, I guess.
Comment 1 Eliot Graff 2013-04-09 00:56:39 UTC 
That second sentence has been removed from the editor's draft.

Thank you!
