But SGML has no namespaces AFAIK. I think instead of
<sgmltag namespace="http://foobar">...
I'd like to see
<xmltag namespace="http://foobar">...
or
<elementname namespace="http://foobar">...

This RFE is at

One way to deal with it:
In the first prototype of
http://www.pinkjuice.com/joocs/
I did:
Input:
http://www.pinkjuice.com/howto/vimxml/docbook/ch02.xml
The <acronym>XSLT</acronym>s [of my first prototype] work very well for me,
but they are
<simplelist type="inline">
<member>very incomplete</member>
<member>not general or flexible enough</member>
<member>and quirky to set up and run.</member>
</simplelist>
Output:
http://www.pinkjuice.com/howto/vimxml/about.xml#sources
The <acronym class="acronym">XSLT</acronym>s work very well for me,
but they are
<ul class="inline">
<li>very incomplete, </li>
<li>not general or flexible enough, </li>
<li>and quirky to set up and run.</li>
</ul>
Styling:
http://www.pinkjuice.com/howto/vimxml/xslt/tinydbk2xhtml/css/layout.css
.inline, .inline > li {
display: inline;
}
... but the transformer could as well insert nothing:
[...] are
<simplelist type="inline">
<member>very incomplete, </member>
<member>not general or flexible enough, </member>
<member>and quirky to set up and run.</member>
</simplelist>
