Yes, but that's not what the note means. It says: In XML, an xmlns attribute is part of the namespace declaration mechanism, and an element cannot actually have an xmlns attribute in the null namespace specified. It's referring to the namespace of the attribute itself, not the namespace of the elemement. In DOM implementations, the xmlns attribute is in the http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/ namespace. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
