That seems like a poor reimplementation of XML namespaces.

Why not use XHTML at that point? If XHTML ever had a clear mission statement in life it was that.

I mean I thought XHTML was a curse a few years ago when it was The Thing Every Good Designer Uses™ since it couldn't be rendered as XML in the most popular browser. But hopefully that's not as much an issue anymore. Or maybe it is. I haven't kept up with IE.

Or you know, an adoption of only the needed part, instead of all the BS junk that comes with XML namespaces.

>Why not use XHTML at that point?

Because of all the other junk that comes with it. And because it comes from W3C.


XHTML is on the way out, I'm afraid. Angular is designed for HTML5.
