The xmlns attribute is + not properly declared. However, Xerces-J incorrectly reports it as valid. As + near as I can tell for the last several releases Xerces-J has not validated + xmlns and xmlns:prefix attributes. This is correct behavior for schemas but not + for DTDs. In order to be DTD-valid, all namespace declaration attributes used in + the document must be declared. They do not get any special exemptions from the + rules of XML 1.0: + + <?xml version="1.0"?> + <!DOCTYPE test [ + <!ELEMENT test (#PCDATA)> + ]> + <test xmlns="http://www.ibiblio.org/xml/";> + content + </test> + + The example here just uses an xmlns attribute on the root element, but I've + noted this behavior with many different kinds of xmlns and xmlns:prefix + attributes in different places. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
