Browser vendors can handle XHTML now. It's a non-issue for them.
Working for one I can assure you it's very much an issue.
Looking at http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/ it seems like you do a
pretty good job. :-)
certainly there's new stuff in HTML 5 that will require new code to
support; but do you really think a few namespace prefixes will make it
harder to do that?
I have no idea how namespace prefixes would work in an HTML parser.
Perhaps you can take a look at
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#parsing and see what
might need to be done to make that namespace prefix compatible? I
personally don't really see value in adding any kind of namespace syntax
to HTML.
Note that you can't rely on well-formedness in the parser and that you
need to handle all error cases as well in a way that doesn't cause a
"yellow screen of death" to be generated.
