I'm very surprised that the list does not include the current 
approach taken by the HTML WG. This poll seems to suggest that 
one namespace for every flavor of XHTML is the only right choice. I 
agree with Tony and others who consider 3 namespaces as a 
possible solution.

XHTML 1.0 strict: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/strict
XHTML 1.0 transitional: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional
XHTML 1.0 frameset: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/frameset
