Ok, now that I'm thinking about this more, I'm changing my initial +0 to +1. This just makes sense. There does need to be a container for the XHTML and div is a solid, logical choice. I don't think it should matter where the xmlns is declared... any ancestor element will do.

I'm still -1. But I was wondering, why only ancestor elements? Wouldn't the most logical thing for "string based generators" be to apply it on the DIV element?

I'm confused. If you are opposed to this pace, then what div element?

It may also be helpful to look at a specific feed, for example this one:

Experiment with alternate serializations if you like.

The important question is whether the <div> element is part of the format or part of the content? Should aggregators copy it? When an Atom entry is POSTed to a blog, is the div part of the content?
