What is meant by namespaced content and what advantages does it have?
- by Geek
I was reading this blog by James Bennett regarding HTML vs XHTML . He writes :
I don’t have any need for namespaced content; I’m not displaying any
complex mathematical notation here and don’t plan to, and I don’t use
SVG for any images. So that’s one advantage of XHTML out the window. I
also don’t have any need for XML tools; all the processing I need to
do can be handled by HTML-parsing libraries like BeautifulSoup. That’s
the other advantage gone.
What does he mean by namespaced content and what advantage does it provide us ?
