Elements whose namespaces aren't known should be handled like any other
unknown HTML element. I believe the common way for user agents to handle
an unknown element is basically to ignore the tag and its attributes and
treat any text between start and end tags as if the tags weren't there.
Namespaces do not present any new challenge in this area.
Yes, that's accurate; but there is new opportunity here. CSS, XSLT, and
JavaScript present the option to specify styling for unknown elements,
in the same or different namespaces.
Must-ignore could become "Must-ignore unless the stylesheet says not
to". I'm not sure if this is really a good idea or not, but I for one
would find it very useful and make heavy use of it.
