http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9963 DOM2Writer doesn't treat the "xml" namspace specially ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-06-18 16:40 ------- I am not sure if this is a Microsoft bug. Even if I open the xsd file in Internet explorer, it says The namespace prefix is not allowed to start with the reserved string "xml". Line 7, Position 38 <xsd:documentation xml:lang="en" xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace";> -------------------------------------^ I looked up the XML namespaces spec, and it says Namespace Constraint: Leading "XML" Prefixes beginning with the three-letter sequence x, m, l, in any case combination, are reserved for use by XML and XML-related specifications. Namespace Constraint: Prefix Declared The namespace prefix, unless it is xml or xmlns, must have been declared in a namespace declaration attribute in either the start-tag of the element where the prefix is used or in an an ancestor element (i.e. an element in whose content the prefixed markup occurs). The prefix xml is by definition bound to the namespace name http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace. The prefix xmlns is used only for namespace bindings and is not itself bound to any namespace name. So I guess Microsoft is doing the right things after all. I think DOM2Writer should not generate a prefix declaration for xml. What do you say? Pratik
