------- Comment #17 from macdome at opendarwin.org  2006-09-26 16:19 PDT -------
Hixie has proposed an alternative.

We just change createElement to always default to the xhtml namespace.  Then
the mental model is, all of the create* function are the "html functions" and
create*NS functions are the "new way" to do namespace-aware manipulation.  This
is potentially less confusing than create* are "smart" about what the current
document is.

I should also note, that mozilla currently special cases xhtml to have
createElement return html elements.  That weakens the argument that SVG should
not do the same, since "being like xhtml" would mean either returning xhtml
namespaced elements (like Hixie is proposing) or returning svg namespaced
elements (like this bug meant originally).
