Amy,

I hesitate to comment on this having twice had my knuckles rapped this week - by Tim Bray and Norman Walsh - for believing what a W3C Rec states... :) ... but the Namespace in XML Recommendation seems to say the opposite to what you "repeat, ad nauseam":

<quote_from_Chapter2>
A namespace is declared using a family of reserved attributes. Such an attribute's name must either be xmlns or have xmlns: as a prefix.
</quote_from_Chapter2>

It seems to me that namespace declarations are attributes.

Isn't XML terminology wonderful? <grin/> ... Maybe we can share a bottle of knuckle salve? :)

Regards

Andrew Watt
