Exactly. Which means that any attributes in an xhtml document that are not explicitly prefixed with "xhtml" (or whatever) are not namespaced. Eg:
Example 1: <xhtml:html xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/...";> <xhtml:body style="mystyle"> </xhtml:body> </xhtml:html> Example 2: <xhtml:html xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/...";> <xhtml:body xhtml:style="mystyle"> </xhtml:body> </xhtml:html> In Example 1, the 'style' attribute is non-namespaced. In Example 2, it is namespace to the XHTML namespace. However, I don't believe that Example 2 is valid XHTML, since the spec does not explicitly declare style attribute in the namespace - only a 'style' attribute attached to the body element (and other elements, of course). Two different things, to my understanding.
