CSS selectors — namespace selector

Code used

@namespace xhtml url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

xhtml|h5 span {color:#fff; background:#080;}
xhtml|div[class="testgrid"]>p {color:lime;}
*|* .testgrid {border-color: #406180; border-width: 3px}

Notes

This is only useful for XHTML documents served as application/xhtml+xml or XML documents (application/xml). text/html, HTML 4.01 does not support the concept of namespaces.

See also this second test–case, with some more simple selectors and without a namespace declaration.

Konqueror 3.5.1 doesn't support namespaces correctly. When served as applications/xml (as is this w3c test suite), the results are hightly conflicting. See also this xml test file. When a xhtml document is served as applications/xhtml+xml the results are just as conflicting – and I doubt that the browser actually uses an xml parser in this case.
