           Summary: xmlns attribute for XML namespace not allowed
           Product: Validator
           Version: 0.7.0
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://www.livinglogic.de/Python/
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Parser
        AssignedTo: link@pobox.com
        ReportedBy: walter@livinglogic.de
         QAContact: www-validator-cvs@w3.org

For the URL http://www.livinglogic.de/Python/ the validator complains about a
namespace declaration for the XML namespace. The XHTML file starts with: 
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

IMHO this namespace declaration should be allowed.
