In html/math.xsl, there were some lines like this:

<!-- "Support" for MathML -->

<xsl:template match="mml:*" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML";>
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

As far as I know, this means that MathML was only passed through if it
had an mml: prefix. I assume this was done because of the
non-namespaced template matching. So, is that a correct assessment? Is
the requirement for the prefix still present?
