[MEI-L] XML Namespaces in MEI

[Roland, Perry D. (pdr4h)]

It's enough to say



<mei xmlns="http://www.music-encoding.org/ns/mei">

  <someElement xml:id="abc123" />

</mei>



(oXygen seems to understand that @id is in the XML namespace.)



but



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

<mei xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"

  xmlns="http://www.music-encoding.org/ns/mei">

  <someElement xml:id="abc123" />

</mei>



is ok too.



You just can't declare the XML namespace as anything other than "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace".
