Namespaces don't exist in HTML. The only 'namespace' spec that I'm aware of 
is the W3C's "Namespaces in XML", at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/, 
and that doesn't apply to HTML documents.  Just because Microsoft might have 
implemented their own proprietry version of namespaces, doesn't mean that 
there is any concept of a 'namespace' in HTML documents. 

And no, you can't send an XForms document as text/html, because it's neither 
valid HTML nor XHTML Appendix C-compliant.
