This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Rob Ennals's Change Proposal suggests that foreign namespaces not officially part of HTML5, must have an @extension attribute: <my-root-element xmlns="http://my-name-space/" extension="extension" > However, in light of the @vendor--feature construct (or @_vendor-feature, bug 9590 is still open), it seems reasonable to let the @extension attribute follow the same shape. E.g. instead of @extension one could use @xml--ns <my-root-element xmlns="http://my-name-space/" xml--ns="xml--ns" >
