If all we're doing is HTML, fine. However people are now in this thread
talking about putting MathML into this.
There has been plenty of discussion about introducing MathML-like markup
into HTML 5. Although, personally, I'm not convinced that it's a good
idea. This works in Mozilla and, given the right plugins, should work
in others too.
<object type="application/mathml+xml" data="math.xml"></object>
In other forums people are discussing adding XForms.
I think the discussions about XForms are about trying to retrofit the
XForms model into the HTML forms syntax. I'm not convinced that's a
good idea either, but that's what they've been discussing over on www-forms.
However what I'm hearing is that people do want to mix in different
vocabularies such as MathML and XForms without using namespaces,
No, not without namespaces, just without the xmlns and QNames syntax.
e.g. when <math> is encountered in text/html, it appears in the DOM as
<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML";>
We definitely don't want people thinking they can use any arbitrary
xmlns in HTML. That's what XHTML is for.
