It's obvious that XHTML 1.0 is a good idea - the notion that you can send
along a package of tags that are known to be readable by a fast lightweight
XML parser, but carry the widely-known HTML semantics, is an unambiguous
good thing, and the HTML WG has done well in designing it.
The gripe is with this silly 3-namespace notion, which materially decreases
the utility of XHTML and establishes a violently dangerous precedent. If
I were a voting member of the W3C advisory council, which I'm not, I'd
vote to send it back to the WG to fix the namespace breakage, and once
fixed, I'd vote to make it a W3C recommendation. -Tim
