------------------------------------

             Summary: Report parse error when element names begin with "xml"
                 Key: XERCESJ-1681
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1681
             Project: Xerces2-J
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SAX
            Reporter: Radu Coravu


One of our users suggested us that an XML like this:


{code:xml}
<xml-root></xml-root>
{code}
is not valid because the specs:

https://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml11-20060816/#sec-common-syn

says that the name of an XML element should not start with XML:


{code}
A Name is a token beginning with a letter or one of a few punctuation characters, and continuing with letters, digits, hyphens, underscores, colons, or full stops, together known as name characters.] Names beginning with the string "xml", or with any string which would match (('X'|'x') ('M'|'m') ('L'|'l')), are reserved for standardization in this or future versions of this specification.
{code}
