I agree with Rusty that this is a bad idea on its own and something I
don't want to add. Even if I did like the idea, it's actually very hard
to implement. Elements are created on their own apart from any document
and can exist apart from any document. So the notion you can set an
element's namespace behavior with a document flag is a fallacy.
Anything down this line becomes a nasty kluge.
Anyway, Eric, we've already lost Bob due to this discussion so please
just trust we've been over this many many times and have heard all the
argument and have read all the specs and aren't going to change things.
The people who had to make the decision already made it (two years
ago) and have been happy with the decision.
