Both approaches work fine in a browser (firefox at least), and both

It depends on the Web community you are talking to and then the type
of applications and tools. In the paradigm of Web authors and Web
designers, the Web community has a better understanding of class

In some other Web communities, it will be the opposite, people will
have a better grip on XML namespaces, and schemas.
So it's really a question of community of practices. The more
