No, they should be declared in the http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml namespace. > May be worth making a note that inherited attributes (particularly > @lang and @dir) can (should?) be declared on the root element. Requiring that just leads to WYSIWYG editors putting them in some boilerplate making lang= even less useful than it is now.
