Yes, very true and opens the doors for some interesting things in the
future.

0.7 isn't going to be namespace aware, so it will just ignore any
namespace tags/attribs.  It is something I would definately like to look
at for 0.8 or beyond though, but there would likely be a considerable
amount of work and though having to go into a fully namespace aware
architecture and I want to get a working system out there first.
