But those two altenatives do entirely diferent things.

If the intention was to have elements from the HTML namespace within
the XML then you have to do the former, and the latter would not work.

If the intention is to be able to discus html tags as text, as in `use a
<br> element to force a line break' then you have to do the latter and
the former would not work.
