I am fairly new to the P3P world. But I was able to create a policy through
IBM's generator. When I implement it on my site and test it through the w3
validator, I get the below error:


1. Why would I get an invalid namespace?


2. Why does the validation fail? 


Any help is greatly appreciated. Please email me at

Step 1: /w3c/p3p.xml Validation

URI:
<http://validator.w3.org/p3p/20020128/header.pl?mode=line&uri=%68%74%74%70%3
A%2F%2F%77%77%77%2D%73%74%61%67%65%2E%72%65%79%73%6F%75%72%63%65%2E%63%6F%6D
