Agreed. And I think that these 2 documents are identical... <xhtml:html xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/...";> <xhtml:body style="mystyle"> </xhtml:body> </xhtml:html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/...";> <body style="mystyle"> </body> </html> i.e. that in both case the style attribute is in no namespace and is attached to the body element which is in the XHTML namespace. It still does suprise me how complex, something as apparently simple as XML namespaces can be.
