Re: XLink 1.1: default xmlns attribute values

/ Bjoern Hoehrmann <derhoermi@gmx.net> was heard to say:
| Dear XML Core Working Group,
|
|   http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-xlink11-20050707/ section 4.3 suggests
| to use default attribute values for xmlns:xlink, this is obviously an
| incorrect and dangerous suggestion, please remove suggestions to use
| default attribute values from this section or, preferably, remove the
| entire section since documents that make use of these suggestions are
| by definition not interoperable.

The Core WG has considered this comment. We'll add a note to indicate
that providing such defaults in an external subset may mean that they
are not seen by browsers and other parsers that do not read the
external subset.

We will also add a note to indicate that the technique does not have
any analog in XSD, RELAX NG, or other modern infoset-based validation
languages.

Please let us know if this satisfies your concerns.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
