Hi Micah

I am just having another look at your metadata for grandma

http://www.dubinko.info/writing/meta/

You say:

"Note that everything in this example is XHTML strict valid."

where the example is:

[[

Copyright notice in backwards compatible XHTML
NS: ...xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
NS: ...xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
1: <head profile="http://dubinko.info/2002/meta/">...
2:   <meta name="dc:rights" content="Copyright 2002 Micah Dubinko. All
rights  reserved."/>
3: </head>
]]

However the XHTML validator seems to choke on the first NS: line.
Have I misunderstood somnething?

Jeremy
