Hey Sylvain,

On this one, I'm being very serious.  I need to know what "conformance"
means.  Hiding the div completely from users of Abdera would mean
potentially losing important data (e.g. the div may contain an xml:lang
or xml:base) or forcing me to perform additional processing (pushing the
in-scope xml:lang/xml:base down to child elements of the div.  It also
has ease-of-use ramifications on the API.  So I really do need a solid
answer on this one.
