Kendo.ns is improperly documented / not working.

[Michael]

Just a note for your documentation team, and a bug report.

kendo.ns 

Is documented extremely briefly in the declarative syntax section of your online docs, the gist of the docs go like this:

set kendo.ns e.g.

kendo.ns = "kendo" 

This would change your data declarations to : data-kendo-role= (etc.)

This is not correct (as per the latest code drop) setting...

kendo.ns = "kendo" 

Recognizes data attributes in the following form...

data-kendorole=

You can set kendo.ns="kendo-" and then be able to use data attributes in the form

data-kendo-role

However, even with enough data attributes recognised to get the app to start, large chunks of declarative markup simply don't work anymore. (As a very basic example, layouts don't recognise data-kendo-header / data-kendo-footer ... there's many more problems with it.)

Switching off kendo.ns and renaming data- attributes back to their non ns'ed form fixes everything.

Where is your issue tracking system, or do you guys pull bug reports in from here?
