> XML import currently ignores attributes that are in the xml namespace.
> e.g., DocViewImportHandler's startElement():
>                 if (atts.getQName(i).startsWith("xml:")) {
>                     // skipping xml:space, xml:lang, etc.
>                     log.debug("skipping reserved/system attribute " + atts.getQName(i));
>                     continue;
>                 }
> That is a significant loss of information, since xml:base, xml:lang, and xml:id attributes are critical to the content.  We should register the xml prefix as a reserved namespace (not needing an xmlns declaration) and then treat it like any other attribute.
> Here are some useful XML examples:
