The validator needs to understand that given <!ATTLIST x xmlns CDATA "123"> or <!ATTLIST x xmlns CDATA #FIXED "123"> etc. that an instance with <y:x xmlns:y="123"> is correct. You would also need the rule that an unprefixed element name could only be declared once per DTD, which is not particularly objectionable. Cheers Rick Jelliffe
