A while back ns forms were made to be more like Clojure, that is a keyword is valid and a symbol is not. You may need go through the namespaces and change (ns hiccup.namespace (use ...)) to (ns hiccup.namespace (:user ...)) ditto require and other import forms. I suspect that is why hiccup.core isn't pulling in hiccup.util.

Hope that helps!

A PR would of course be great to make ns related syntax issues throw errors.

Thanks. What's a PR?
