We are still happily using XSV to validate potention OAI repositories against the OAI protocol specification. We have one recurring problem with XSV: it tries to open and parse xmlns attribute values. It is my understanding that xmlns=foo is just a namespace. It does not have to be a URL, it does not have to be locatable. A repository I am currently looking at has an info.pdf as its namespace! That is legal, but XSV tries to fetch it and parse it as XML. I do not believe you should be checking the xmlns attribute values. Sincerely, Donna Bergmark
