Namespaces are *not* disabled in Standard Edition. This is an excerpt of the on-line help: --- XXE is not namespace aware for a document using a DTD as its grammar. Being not namespace aware means that xmlns attributes are treated as ordinary attributes with no special semantics. All element and attributes names (except xml:space, xml:lang, xml:base which belong to the "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" namespace) have no namespace. Names like "foo:bar" are allowed. A DTD is considered to be a grammar if it defines at least one element type. That is, a DTD only declaring entities is not considered to be a grammar. --- May be you have found a bug? Have you an example with xml:base where XXE didn't behave properly? > ?do you plan to include this support in future releases? The support of "xml:base": no. Sorry. (In general this means that we do not understand the importance of the feature, yet).
