The XHTML 1.0 PR shows (in 3.12) an example of XHTML being included in another
XML document type: (I've changed all the angle brackets so this doesn't get et
by the mail programs)
[?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?]
[!-- initially, the default namespace is "books" --]
[book xmlns='urn:loc.gov:books'
xmlns:isbn='urn:ISBN:0-395-36341-6' xml:lang="en" lang="en"]
[title]Cheaper by the Dozen[/title]
[isbn:number]1568491379[/isbn:number]
[notes]
[!-- make HTML the default namespace for a hypertext
commentary --]
[p xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml']
This is also available [a
href="http://www.w3.org/"]online[/a].
[/p]
[/notes]
[/book]
This uses the default namespace for its work. Would it be possible (I
think it
should be) to use a prefix?
[?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?]
[!-- initially, the default namespace is "books" --]
[book xmlns='urn:loc.gov:books'
xmlns:isbn='urn:ISBN:0-395-36341-6' xml:lang="en" lang="en"]
[title]Cheaper by the Dozen[/title]
[isbn:number]1568491379[/isbn:number]
[notes]
[!-- make HTML the default namespace for a hypertext
commentary --]
[xhtml:p xmlns:xhtml='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml']
This is also available [xhtml:a
xhtml:href="http://www.w3.org/"]online[/xhtml:a].
[/xhtml:p]

[/book]
If so, is:
This is also available [xhtml:a
xhtml:href="http://www.w3.org/"]online[/xhtml:a].
equivalent to:
This is also available [xhtml:a
href="http://www.w3.org/"]online[/xhtml:a].
While XHTML seems to assume that attributes with no prefix fall into the
namespace of their containing element throughout, I can't find this stated
explicitly. (Perhaps they weren't aware that this has been a contentious
issue?)
