It seemed to me you were suggesting two options, put html els in a non-default namespace or
chage the default namespace. I was trying to say that the first wouldn't work for me, but that
the second was an option.

I've become resigned to the (perceived) fact that xslt can't do what I want to do cleanly, and no
I don't consider the workarounds I've heard and found to be clean. Now I'm more interested in finding out if there's a good reason for it, and if not, fixing it in the next version.

I'm quite willing to patch the various open source processors to do what I feel is appropriate,
but there's not much point unless it's in accordance with errata or a future standard. I'm not big
on vender-specific extensions.

I want to know if people agree with me when I say "This is how it should work". If not, I'd
like to know why.

I know this is a fairly minor issue. I've been living with fairly minor issues for a while now.
I just figured it was time to stop complaining and see if there was anything I could do about it.

The html output method precludes using any namespace on the literal result elements.


exactly: <html xmlns=""> is _not_ in a namespace.

Changing the default namespace works though, and it's what I settled on yesterday night.


which is what I suggested above, no?
