Just a clarification, in case it is not clear.

The operational issue that henri is talking about in his message in
details is *only* about "xmlns:foo" constructs.
Practical examples such as:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:foaf="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" >
or such as:
<a xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#" …>…</a>.
And *NOT* about things like the value of an attribute:
<meta property="dc:creator" content="Mark Birbeck" />
PS: just a very simple clarification for those who are reading the
messages and who are not specialists about DOM, XML namespaces, etc.
