  yeah, currently the HTML serialization is quite "stupid" basically it
doesn't even look at the namespace informations found in the "infoset".
If you have an namespaced node in the tree given to the HTML serializer
it simply ignores the namespace informations. Maybe I should fix that,
whe I initially implemented the serializer I really didn't intend this
kind of usage. Similary an XHTML serializer should be added to the API.
If someone wants me to fix this simply log them as enhancement/bug fix
requests in Bugzilla and I will get at them at some point.
