It may, but need not, be declared, and must not be bound to any other namespace name. No other prefix may be bound to this namespace name. </quote> Incidentally, Crimson doesn't allow it either, while I've used at least one schema tool (don't remember which) that incorrectly requires the XML namespace to be declared explicitly if you include attributes such as xml:space.
