Yipeee :)

Which version will see this addition?

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>
