How about defining a standard namespace _prefix_ for such additions to
HTML? As far as I've seen, all browsers interpret the namespace prefix
as part of the tag/attribute, such that for MATHML in HTML, you'd use
<math:add>. It'd require the author use the prefix for all relevant
tags, but it should work without changing anything fundamental in UAs
that might break other sites. As far as I'm aware, since namespaces
don't exist in HTML there's nothing particularily "evil" about this.
This seems much more annoying to author than the proposed alternative.
It's not like we'll have millions of elements to be used in HTML one day.
(I hope not, at least!) The language should remain relatively simple. I'm
not even sure why people suggest SVG should be included as well as that's
a presentational language. It makes much more sense to bind SVG to
elements using XBL.
