I just got a mostly (bad) HTML message with:

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

sticking out in the middle of it.

The start tag was:
<x-html>

and yes, it ended with 

</x-html>

It also had a META tag:
META content="MSHTML 5.00.2722.2800" name=GENERATOR

The only place it seemed to use the 'o' prefix was in a lot of:
<o:p></o:p>

I've got the full text, if anyone's curious.

I guess this is a sign that XML and XHTML are on the march, sort of.

(And it stated that "one out of every three Canadians will experience a life
altering illness during his or her lifetime."  Just because I work in XML
doesn't mean I'm Canadian, except by Quebecois heritage.)
