The big difference here is that XMLNS uses IRIs/URIs as identifiers and only for that. However, what is an XSLT that transforms Atom content to HTML supposed to do when it encounters a IRI which isn't a legal URI? For instance, it can't put it into an HTML href attribute without producing invalid HTML.
I guess that is a HTML errata issue rather then an Atom issue. Atom can not make sure it is compatible with every specification out there.
Perhaps we could add an informative about it although I doubt if it would be useful. Furthermore, browsers do not really support IRIs either so authors are not likely to use them in HTML context anyway.
