Re: Issue: Unwanted xmlns declarations

I have some new info:

I assumed that the namespace declaration only got inserted into XHTML 
files without the HTML doctype declaration.

However, it turns out that the declarations get inserted even in regular 
XHTML files __with__ the HTML doctype declaration.

Further more, when I enable the option to immediately save new 
documents, I recognized that in the immediately saved file, there are no 
xmlns declarations. Only when I subsequently write something, and 
__then__ save the file, do the xmlns attributes get inserted.

Then what is it ...?

Probably. Unless this is sign of some further misbehavior by XXE.

I noticed that in one document, some "<" that should been kept as is, 
were converted to &lt;.

Another issue is that the built in validator/error checker does not 
detect these namespace declarations: It should reported them as errors. 
But instead it simply ignores them - it is as if they do not exist.
