> Any comments? Is IE5 at fault, or is it true that xmlns should be > #FIXED, and so the DTDs are incorrect? The Namespaces recommendation does not require it; Microsoft have decided that it does not make sense to allow a declared element type to be used to refer to elements in different namespaces, and they enforce this by requiring xmlns attributes to be declared as #FIXED. Furthermore, they do not allow you to declare prefixed element types or attributes unless you also declare an xmlns attribute for the prefix. This is also not in the standard. Andrew Layman posted a message about this a couple of weeks ago; it's archived as http://www.lists.ic.ac.uk/hypermail/xml-dev/xml-dev-May-1999/0394.html He points out: if you want to use the DTD to validate an instance, you must use exactly the same prefixes in the instance as were used in the DTD. This is true, but it doesn't seem to me to be a good reason to reject namespace-conformant documents. -- Richard xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
