Re: [apps-discuss] An XML RFC primer?

For a very long time during the discussions in the Atom WG, there was a 
requirement to put the namespace declaration for the HTML namespace on 
the div element that encloses XHTML content. Going back now to the spec, 
I see that that requirement/wart is gone (see 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4287#section-3.1.1.3). Congratulations to 
whomever got the WG to get away from this (was that you?).

I herewith gladly retract my concern re. Atom. It's good to learn that 
things are better than one has thought, even if it takes a long time.

Regards,   Martin.
