RE: Problems passing attributes

Thanks for the help!

Just wondering, could I have made life easier by referencing the XHTML
namespace, so my "<table border='0'>" elements are automatically processed?
If so, would it be as easy as referencing the XHTML namespace, or would
there be more to do?

And yes, this weekend I realized that in real life I should never use
<table>, etc elements but should try to stick more to a data rather than a
physical model. But HTML is a hard habit to break...
