Almost no one gets namespaces right. Almost no one. I've found it hilarious in recent threads how many times people would say "namespaces are great!" or "namespaces are no big deal!" and then within a few sentences commit some of the most common namespaces errors. Most of these I'm pretty sure we've all let pass without the requisite "GOTCHA!" because, hey, we're so used to people not getting namespaces right that we hardly even notice any more. I hardly do, until something breaks somewhere along my chain of responsibility, of course. Naturally I've been doing everything I can to eliminate namespaces from my areas of responsibility, even to the extent of minimizing use of XSLT.
