This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
5.2 Conformance Criteria for xmlns:-Prefixed Attributes appears to state that any attribute whose name starts with "xmlns:" is conforming, this apparently would include even attributes that are not conforming per Namespaces in XML, such as ones with non-XML characters in the name, or with multiple colons. I assume this is not intended.
