  This is by design, although there's a considerable disagreement on this
point, even among WebKit developers. The idea is that scripts written for HTML
should continue to work with XHTML, if at all possible.

  Both WebKit and Firefox 2 produce '<foo xmlns="undefined"/>' - could you
please clarify what the bug is?
