1) Attributes don't show, not by default. You want to specify an XSLT stylesheet that transforms the whole thing, attributes and all, into something that does show.
2) You've misunderstood the whole namespace idea. The XHTML namespace only applies to XHTML elements. You need to define a new namespace for your own made-up elements but specify XHTML as the default.<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/" xmlns:foo="http://foo.bar.com/my-happy-namespace">

I hope I am getting closer to the problem so I put this in and the date is still not showing, sorry I am a newbie :) O by the way our teacher told us to use HTML for the namespace

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/" xmlns:html="http://html.com/favorite movies">
<head><title>Favorite Movies</title>

1) You must be misunderstanding your teacher. Perhaps her or she wanted you to use the "html" prefix for the HTML elements and let your special elements inhabbit the default namespace. It makes no sense, even though it's syntactically correct, to apply the "html" prefix to all of the non-HTML elements.
2) Attributes don't show. If you want it to show you have to make it an element and not an attribute. You can do this in the source or you can apply a stylesheet.
