The change of namespace was unnecessarily annoying, for sure. But
functionally not a lot changed between CR and the new WD. The accept
attributes are all optional. The most unnecessarily annoying thing
was the xpointer attribute and the consequent deprecation of fragment
IDs. I hope that will be restored to the old syntax before the 2nd
CR. Then gain it does have the beneficial side effect of removing
most of Roy Fielding's human factors objections to XPointer.
