Then we could as well use plain XHTML for the view

That was just an example. ;)
IMO we should use plain xhtml grammar. I do not really see the benefit
yet of Jörns idee of adding lenya: ns.
i'm proposing it to make things explicit. when i browse a stylesheet, i
can immediately see "hey, a tag from a special namespace, that's
probably a marker of some kind", and i can grep for it and learn what's
going on.
imho, there are way too many non-obvious, implicit things going on in
cocoon and especially lenya, and here's a chance of getting rid of one.
for an example of the problems that can arise, see earlier in this
thread: a user forgot to add the <div id="body"/> to a module xslt and
ended up with an empty output, likely because she had not realized its
special meaning.
and why should i be forced to have a <div id="body"> in my output at all?
With plain XHTML, you wouldn't.
IMO the only reason not to use XHTML is that certain elements would
be stripped/replaced, e.g. the <xhtml:title> (because this would be
replaced with the <dc:title> so that all page titles are handled in
the same way, independent from the resource type).
This might cause confusion (but I don't think it is really harmful).
