It's a feature, not a bug: "Note that DTD-based validation is not namespace-aware in the following sense: a DTD constrains the elements and attributes that may appear in a document by their uninterpreted names, not by (namespace name, local name) pairs. To validate a document that uses namespaces against a DTD, the same prefixes must be used in the DTD as in the instance." http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#ns-using -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
