I don't see much difference between zero and one (one?:) namespace
and since there is definite need for a namespace (i.e. XSL) to
distinguish (X)HTML tags from others, I prefer one over zero.

I must say, I was surprised by the decision and have now a more
healthy respect for the W3C process although I suspect XML-DEV has
now become an informal part of the process.  At least all the
stress we must go through to exert that reactive influence is
high enough to prevent abuse <g>.

Best,
