Someone replied to my point, but offlist, so I'm sending their point and my reply/question to it, to everyone here on the list. -- Brant Langer Gurganus wrote: >Actually, I believe it does validate because it is automatic via >the DTD file: ><!ATTLIST html > %i18n; > id ID #IMPLIED > xmlns %URI; #FIXED 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' > > >As you can see, the DTD tells that it is a fixed attribute.

Since the Recommendation clearly says the document must have the namespace in it - if a document doesn't, then it is not a valid document, right? Or does including it in the DTD as a #FIXED attribute, equal to it actually being in the document? I wouldn't think so, because leaving the namespace out of the doc directly, makes it unusable in Opera 6.04 and Mozilla 1.1a (appears like all inline style-less text & no images). I would think that if a #FIXED attribute in a DTD was equal to the attribute being in the doc itself, that Opera & Mozilla would still display the page as any XHTML 1.0 doc w/ namespace directly in it, would be displayed.
