Technically, you're quite right. Politically, I > think this could have been easier. I have customers who would invest a lot of time and energy in XHTML right now, and who would integrate XHTML into other major industry specs that will be too far along to mess with in another few months, if the HTML WG would only publish a one-sentence NOTE that said The XML Namespace for HTML is http://www.w3.org/1999/11/HTML/ and all names are lower case. (or whatever suits). Really -- just give us a Namespace, and we'll do stuff you barely dare to dream about. That way, they can work on XHTML itself, modules, and all that at leisure.
