This is effectively fixed now, assuming that the XMLNS spec prevents attributes in the XMLNS namespace from being placed in ways that would be contradictory to their semantics (e.g. assuming it's not legal to have an xmlns="http://example.com/" attribute in the XMLNS namespace on an element without a prefix and that is in another namespace). > * Declaring the xmlns and xmlns:xlink attributes on foreign elements is > optional, even if xlink attributes are used.
