Re: [xep-support] xep namespace problem

Hello Chris,

If further help is required, please describe your environment, and the
way you invoke XEP. See comments inline.

I am not getting the error message either.

There is nothing like this in the source XML.
The xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" attribute node alters the
*default* namespace for current element and it's descendants to that of
MathML. The current element has svg: prefix, which is correctly bound to
SVG namespace. There are no descendants without a namespace prefix.
Thus, the xmlns= statement just does nothing in the presented XML, and
the simple solution is to remove it.

I have found the error message mentioned above in
org/apache/xerces/impl/msg/XMLMessages.properties:280 of Xerces-J 2.9.0.
However, searching in the sources of jdk1.6.0 at
com/sun/org/apache/xerces/internal/impl found nothing relevant, probably
because the built-in Xerces is 2.6.2.

All this is mystifying, so please describe your environment to make the
error reproducible.
