(you mean 'xmlns:xlink'
                  ^
?)


1. DTDs can't really deal with namespaces; for example, the prefix used is irrelevant,

but fixed in DTDs.

Future versions of the

SVG spec will feature a W3C XML Schema, see SVG1.1.


2. There seems to be an error in the DTD, related to your finding:
In

, Dean wrote:
"The SVG 1.0 DTD does not include the xmlns:xlink #FIXED attribute
on the svg element, but it should. Expect an errata in the next
few days that adds it."

3. Somehow, XML Spy validated it; strange.
