No, those errors are from validating a DocBook 4 document with the DocBook 4
DTD that does not have xmlns attributes declared. DTDs don't know that
xmlns is a special attribute, and treats it as if it were just another
attribute name. Those xmlns attributes are on the book element, which is
not replaced during the XInclude process.
One common solution is to put a xmlns:xi="..." declaration in each
xi:include element's start tag, and omit the global declaration in the book
element. It makes each XInclude a little more verbose, but then the xmlns
attributes are consumed by the XInclude processor and are not present at
post-validation time. If you don't want to modify the DTD to include xmlns
attributes, then that's the only solution.

The namespace is not inherited from the root element of the importing
