I routinely use XML documents that don't use namespaces with standard XML tools that are namespace-aware. Does this really require a special mode of processing that does not understand namespaces? Will it really break real-world documents out there if any name with a ":" must comply with XML namespaces in XML 1.1? I'm inclined to think that folding namespace support into the core XML spec for 1.1 will have very modest cost. This seems to me the opportune time to do it. If not now, then when? Do some take the position that this should never happen?
