The reason is that the requirement on explicit use of the xmlns attribute has been expressed in prose only, not in the DTDs. The reason to this is that it cannot be expressed in a DTD, due to the limitations of the formalism. The attribute is declared #FIXED, which means by definition that the attribute, if present, must have the exact value given, but it does not specify that it is required. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
