Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
OK - this is definitely a bug.
From [http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/xhtml/_darcs/inventory darcs]:
The InternalRender module was added to avoid circular dependencies
between the Internals module and the Strict.Elements module. I moved the
functions back
into Internals by using the tag and strAttr primitives instead of the
Strict.Elements function thehtml.
Users normally won't use thehtml, instead it will be added by using one
of the rendering functions. Thus it seems likely that any user who
actually uses thehtml wants to do something special, and we shouldn't
force the xmlns attribute on them.
It seems quite unlikely that most users would use the xmlns attribute,
so I removed it to avoid changing the public API.
Without the xmlns attribute, the library isn't much good, as it won't
produce valid output as per the [http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#docconf
spec]:
The root element of the document must contain an xmlns declaration for
the XHTML namespace [XMLNS]. The namespace for XHTML is defined to be
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml.
