Re: [SVGMobile12] Missing namespace puts document in error

Hi all,

   Just so we are clear on this, it makes it impossible to have a 
conforming
SVG UA that is also a validating XML processor.  As discussed elsewhere 
if a DTD provides, for example a '#fixed' value for xmlns on 'svg' 
elements
a conforming XML parser must expose it to the infoset, if it chooses to 
read
the DTD (which a validation requires), the wording below requires it not 
to
make use of such decl (it is not "in the document").

   If this is the case I think that there needs to be wording to this 
effect to
make is clear to everyone the real implications of this statement.
