RE: Namespaces and IE5b2

But, unless I'm missing something rather elementary here, by requiring the
attribute to be #FIXED, you are limiting the namespace to a single
namespace.  That defeats the purpose of the namespace, whereby you can take
a document description from one source and add content to it from another.
Can you give me an example of how to declare a namespace in an XML DTD using
a fixed attribute?

By having the attribute set to #REQUIRED, you still have to have a namespace
given on the HTML tag - you just don't have to declare the namespace in the
DTD.

We made the decision to require a namespace declaration be fixed because it
doesn't make sense for names of elements or attributes to be mutable. That
is, if you could change the namespace, the effect would be to change the
element or the attribute that referenced that namespace to a different
element or attribute in a different namespace. This is consistent with the
Level 1 DOM specification in which names are immutable.
