Hi David, If the XML processor is namespace aware (i.e. is processing namespaces), that document isn't well formed, as per that section you referenced from the Namespace rec. Xerces-J checks for this when the namespace feature is turned on, and will report an error if recieves a document like the one in your e-mail.
