Description Daniel Brumbaugh Keeney 2007-12-24 23:52:27 UTC 
At the beginning of an otherwise perfectly valid document:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/SCHEMA/xhtml11.xsd" xml:lang="en" dir="ltr">


will cause a validation error


Line 2, Column 116: there is no attribute "xsi:schemaLocation" .

You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element.


even though schemaLocation is a valid attribute in a root element of a document according to http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#xsi_schemaLocation, a W3C recommendation.
