Re: [xml-dev] HTML5 and almost no namespaces

[Jesper Tverskov <jesper.tverskov@gmail.com>]

Thanks for the link, David Carlisle,

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Feb/0085.html

documenting how it came about that "distributed extensibility", that
is namespaces as we know them in XML, didn't make it into the HTML5
spec for the "text/html" mimetype".

I apologize for not having had the time to follow the daily minutes of
the HTML5 WG. I 'm now catching up on the one subject that means the
most to an XML person.

Interesting to read that not only "I" was overruled but also W3C
Technical Architecture Group (TAG) and the wishes of Tim Berners-Lee,
as I understand it.

Now we must make the best out of it.

Cheers
