The XHTML DTD declares a default namespace, in the guise of a defaulted
attribute value for the <html> element. Not a nice thing to do, because its
effect is to put all the unprefixed elements in your source document into a
namespace. This means they will not match unprefixed names used as match
patterns in your stylesheet.
