But what if you wanted to write an editor that left MathML alone, or passed the MathML parts on to another application or plug-in? You'd need to use XML Schemas because DTDs couldn't handle that (your XHTML doc has just failed if it has MathML in it!) and you'll need a namespace for that (under current proposals). So, if you accept that you need three DTDs, then to get into the world of XML Schemas (or whatever it ends up being) you need three namespaces.
