Actually they haven't. You are still using an xmlns attribute: this should
be a QName. I've written up the following "fix" - you need to use something
like:-

<!ENTITY % NS.prefixed "IGNORE" >
<!ENTITY % rddl.prefixed "%NS.prefixed;" >
<!ENTITY % rddl.xmlns "http://www.openhealth.org/RDDL/" >
<!ENTITY % rddl.prefix "rddl" >
<![%rddl.prefixed;[
<!ENTITY % rddl.pfx "%rddl.prefix;:" >
<!ENTITY % rddl.xmlns.extra.attrib
    "xmlns:%rddl.prefix;   %URI.datatype;  #FIXED  '%rddl.xmlns;'" >
]]>
<!ENTITY % rddl.pfx "" >
<!ENTITY % rddl.xmlns.extra.attrib "" >
<!ENTITY % rddl.resource.qname "%rddl.pfx;resource" >

And go from there. I trust that these additions will be made to the next
version (please!)

Considering that my first draft for this was a concatenation of Jonathan
and Tim's efforts but didn't mention either of them, I think I am to blame
also, and I accept your apologies and reasons, and proffer my own. Note
that the latest version fixed that.

My sincere thanks to Uche for raising these matters, and for Jonathan for
addressing them quickly and professionally. RDDL: "Way For The Future!"
Co-operation and friendship always produces the greatest results.
