The architectures clearly don't match at all: Internet media types simply don't work for this sort of document today. Mozilla Firefox is making this clear -- it supports XHTML with embedded MathML and SVG for example, in either order, and perhaps with XHTML and SVG and mathML inside the SVG... > and that proliferation of specialized media types blocks future use > of multi-namespace documents. I don't think it's blocking future use. I think in the long term we have to rethink how multi-namespace XML documents are handled. But that should not stop us from using the existing infrastructure as best and as helpfully as we can in the meantime. I'd like to see a registration for the XML syntax simply because it's useful today, despite the limitations.
