I'm getting the following exception thrown when the HTML element contains the XMLNS attribute (in XHTML document):

Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: The namespace declaration attribute has an incorrect 'namespaceURI': ''.

It looks like the code is not particularly expecting XHTML input and therefore doesn't have a special case for the handling of this attribute.

Changed CreateHtmlElementSetAsRoot in XmlTreeBuilder.cs to have the following within the for loop (hack for error):

                string uri = attributes.GetURI(i);
                if (attributes.GetLocalName(i) == "xmlns" && string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(uri))
                {
                    uri = "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/";
                }
                rv.SetAttribute(attributes.GetLocalName(i), uri, attributes.GetValue(i));

I don't know if this is actually the correct thing to do or not but it at least gets around the issue.
