RE: [Bug 877] Changed - HTML Serialize doesn't work with namespac es

[Kelly Campbell <ca...@channelpoint.com>]

Yes, I understand completely now. My stylesheets were originally based on
previous work by someone else who used the html namespace in the stylesheet
declaration. I didn't question that as I should have. I'm also finding that
different browsers handle stuff differently depending on what dtd you
specify in the DOCTYPE (loose vs. strict vs. something even older). Now I
don't have the pain of changing the default xmlns in every stylesheet file
everytime I need to switch from strict to loose.dtd. :-)

I wish XHTML were more supported, but because it's not I cannot spend time
going down that path.

Thanks for the help Scott and Joseph. I'll close that bug out in bugzilla.
