Duplicate namespace declaration

["Trehan.Pankaj" <Pankaj.Trehan@IGT.com>]

Hi All,

We have XML data stream  that has two declaration of the same namespace. For example:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<TestMessage xmlns="http://www.abcstandards.com/v1.0.31" xmlns:ns1="http://www.abcstandards.com/v1.0.31">

 

</TestMessage>

 

Is it valid?
