Hi all,
If I define the following prefixes in my RDFa document
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance#"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#"
xmlns:owl="http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#">
The W3C validator [1] returns an error:
Line 3, Column 55: value of fixed attribute "xmlns:xsi" not equal to
default.
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance#"
while xmlns:xsd does not produce such an error.
Removing the # in the end of the xsi prefix fixes the error, but I
wonder if it's correct to do so to see prefixes finishing by / or #.
[2] says:
> Schema Component Constraint: xsi: Not Allowed
> The {target namespace} of an attribute declaration, whether local or
> top-level, must not match http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
> (unless it is one of the four built-in declarations given in the next
> section).
> Note: This reinforces the special status of these attributes, so that
> they not only need not be declared to be allowed in instances, but

Is that related to the above issue?
regards,
Stéphane.
