> ...agreed but the author of the XML should still leave the namespace > declarations in the XML yes I agree (it even says that in the namespace REC;-) but as a practical matter given the state of most (x)html authoring, if people get as far having a validator confirm that their document is dtd-valid, it's not surprising that people think it's OK. We (I) took this defaulting out of MathML+XHTML (somewhere between mathml 1.1 and mathml 2, I think) but with some fear. Yes it forces people to be more explicit, and it incidentally enables the msxml parser in IE to parse the document (it rejects anydocument that references a DTD that defaults a namespace, even if the namespace is explict in the instance) BUT it also means that <math xmlns="any old rubbish">... is also DTD-valid.
