There is a bug in the validator where each time it encounters an xmlns
namespace declaration it adds it to the list, even if it was already
encountered. This should really be done with a hash so that each
namespace is only defined in the associative array when it is first
encountered:
it currently accumulates them in the variable @other_namespaces. If
this were instead %other_namespaces, the code would look like:
$other_namespaces{$2} = 1;
and then later when the other namespace list is dumped, something like:
foreach key (%other_namespaces) {
print qq(<a href="$key">$key</a>\n);
}
