Issue using xhtml and xml+namespaces in VF page

I have a VF page with showHeader="false" sidebar="false".  Inside it I'm starting at the <html> element, as can be done when showheader="false".  I'm also delcaring some xml namespaces, which subsequent elements belong to. The problem is that the VF compiler thinks that a namespace'd element *must* be a reference to a VF component.  Well, in my case it's not; it's just an xml element in a namespace.  The error message is:

 
Save error: The prefix "x" for element "x:p" is not bound. at line 1

 

Is there some way to relax the VF compiler?  Is VF compatible with xhtml and namespaces?

 

thanks

Hey jeremyy,

 

You should be able to wrap your 

<x:element />
 
 in a div with the namespace defined, eg:
<div xmlsn:x="http//www.domain.com/2008/whatever">
    <x:element />
</div>
 
At least, that's how I do FBML tags in VF.
 
 
Cheers
