+ | Bug #: 3461 Product: Xerces-J |
+ | Status: NEW Version: 1.4.3 |
+ | Resolution: Platform: Other |
+ | Severity: Normal OS/Version: Other |
+ | Priority: Other Component: DTD |
+ +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

+ +============================================================================+
+ | DESCRIPTION |
+ The following document is not valid acording to XML 1.0. The xmlns attribute is
+ not properly declared. However, Xerces-J incorrectly reports it as valid. As
+ near as I can tell for the last several releases Xerces-J has not validated
+ xmlns and xmlns:prefix attributes. This is correct behavior for schemas but not
+ for DTDs. In order to be DTD-valid, all namespace declaration attributes used in
+ the document must be declared. They do not get any special exemptions from the
+ rules of XML 1.0:
+
+ <?xml version="1.0"?>
+ <!DOCTYPE test [
+ <!ELEMENT test (#PCDATA)>
+ ]>
+ <test xmlns="http://www.ibiblio.org/xml/">
+ content
+ </test>
+
+ The example here just uses an xmlns attribute on the root element, but I've
+ noted this behavior with many different kinds of xmlns and xmlns:prefix
+ attributes in different places.
