No-namespace nodes, Web compat

[Henri Sivonen]

Does Web compat require no-namespace output nodes from XSLT to be
treated as HTML when the 'html' output method has not been specified?

Like here:

That actually does specify the 'html' output method. It's just that it
does it implicitly.

See fourth paragraph in http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#output , starting with
"The default for the"

If you output null namespaced nodes in the XML output method firefox
will create null-namespaced XML elements. I.e. not real HTML elements.
So they won't render as HTML elements, nor implement the HTML DOM APIs.
