Its purpose is to make clear that these element names html, body, p, etc. etc. belong to (X)HTML and not some other random XML vocabulary. Browsers won't care. The content remains well-formed XML with or without the xmlns attribute. XHTML-specific programs, including the XHTML validator, demand it because they want to be sure they're validating something with HTML semantics. -- Not to perambulate || John Cowan the corridors || http://www.reutershealth.com during the hours of repose || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan in the boots of ascension. \\ Sign in Austrian ski-resort hotel
