If MS and Netscape/Mozilla both buy into the same Namespace URI, then
it won't much matter what the W3C says, but I'd still like to hope
that the XHTML WG will give us a URI -- even just a NOTE with the line

  The XML Namespace URI for HTML is "http://www.w3.org/Markup/".

would help prevent the nightmarish interoperability problems that are
coming up.  If we had this, I'd be willing to wait a while for XHTML
proper.


All the best,


David
