Nyet.  Piddlin'.  I'm on record for predicting the death of HTML 
by lack of extensibility and failing to stick to known standards.
So, I lost at least six windingss in my poobah turban and the jewel
too.  

For me, the immediate usefulness of the namespace was apparent when 
I was writing a script to populate treeviews and realized the dang 
thing actually does give me a "uniquefier" for sorting.

Not XML, but if it works in both applications, tres bien.

<aside>Has anyone created a list of the top characteristics of an 
application make it most amenable to using markup?  We've tossed 
around parts of this on this list but I've not seen a thumbnail 
version one could give to a manager that "they will understand".</aside>
