As I've said elsewhere, I find this viewpoint simply
incomprehensible. Namespaces are ugly, but they're not that ugly or
that problematic. They are also at the core of XML processing.
Throwing out namespaces makes it nearly impossible to process HTML
with the very large and powerful set of XML tools.
Note that what you quoted above was not about throwing away
namespaces but about not introducing namespace *syntax* to the text/
html serialization. In fact, HTML5 requires UAs to put HTML elements
in the XHTML namespace.
