Yes, I believe so too.

I suppose I should. It's been a couple of weeks since I had an issue with this so I don't remember the exact issue I had. Looking at px:html-load, it looks like `namespace-fixup.xsl` is being executed when after `p:load`-ing. That should only be executed when `p:http-request`-ing, so I'll have to change that.
