Comment:

 I'm unsure about this, but these themes are no longer XHTML, but rather
 now HTML5. While we stick to XHTML tendencies such as closing elements and
 expanding short attributes, I don't know if there's a necessity to
 actually declare it with an XML namespace.

 That said, since we are continuing our desire for XHTML-like markup, maybe
 we should drop it in.

 Moving to 3.2 for consideration and disposal (commit or wontfix). I'm not
 sure what the right answer is here. We need something more definitive.
