XHTML has a namespace and is required to do so. See section 3.1.1 of http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/ (or any latter spec). There it says: "The root element of the document must contain an xmlns declaration for the XHTML namespace [XMLNS]. The namespace for XHTML is defined to be http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml. ..." The DTD does some silly things like define a default attribute value for xmlns on the html element. Now, my documents are not strictly conforming in that they do not have a DOCTYPE on them. Since I work in an XML Schema world, I consider this an incompatibility that will be fixed in a future version. Hopefully that will be XHTML 2 -- Alex Milowski ? ? ? ? ? ? ? alex at milowski.org "The excellence of grammar as a guide is proportional to the paucity of the inflexions, i.e. to the degree of analysis effected by the language considered."
